The Vatican Tried To Keep This Gay Romance Out Of Italian Cinemas – And Of Course It Backfired

The Italian Conference of Bishops’ Film Evaluation Commission ruled that the film is “not advised, unusable and scabrous (indecent or salacious)” – and since the Church owns most of Italy’s art-house theaters, that was a problem. Yet the movie – which is no. 2 on the list of greatest LGBT films, by the way – was the country’s top earner per screen last weekend, taking 50% more than the runner-up.
