Italian bishops want their porn in the raw and well done
I am not quite sure I am getting this…:
ROME (Hollywood Reporter) - Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti struck back at his detractors Wednesday, blaming “ignorance” for motivating attacks on his candid sex scene with co-star Isabella Ferrari in the new movie “Quiet Chaos.”
The film opened last week in Italy and immediately topped the box office charts. It is in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it had its international premiere Wednesday.
Although Moretti is probably best known as a director, his credits for “Chaos” are for writing and acting, and it’s the acting role that’s causing the controversy.
Some of the most visible criticisms came from the Catholic newspaper Christian Family, which has editorialized against the film, and the Italian Conference of Bishops, which termed it “vulgar” and “disturbing.” One of the offending scenes features the protagonists having sex, standing, fully clothed and seemingly detached from each other.
So, if I am following this, the Christian Family newspaper and the Conference of Bishops are protesting against erotic scenes that involve fully clothed individuals who don’t seem to touch each other at all…?
Well, I suppose I understand.
If I had paid good money to see some steamy sex scenes and then didn’t get any, I’d be pretty miffed as well.
However, I am sure that if they still feel terribly frustrated after all these protests they’ll be able to find copies of ‘Debbie does Dallas’ or some other honest porn flick without too much trouble on the Internet.
Or else some Youtube clip.
I hear you can watch the Spice Girls there, naked:
