It’s a Paul verhoeven movie. He did robocop and starship troopers. He could do a movie about the pope jerking off in a space suit and I would think it was worth a try.
And what? This isn’t 30 years ago.
The Passion of Saint Benedetta?
Where’s Ted and Dougal when you need them.
Doesn’t even mention the bit with two nuns making eyes at each other as they’re taking dumps, complete with sound effects.
Is it dubbed or is it subtitled?
This film sounds terrible. Just terrible. Where’s it showing? I need to know where it’s showing. So I can avoid the cinema. Where is it on?
We’re really reliving the 90’s when people are getting upset over a Paul Verhoeven movie again!
Just looked it up on IMDb – there’s a character in it called Le Nonce, think I’ll give it a miss
Ya, 30 years ago it would have been banned by the people who use Mary statues as sex toys.
Is it a nudey film?
Is it a type of nudie thing? I was reading about it in the paper. I might wander in.
“Yes, he got his lad out. Only, you only see it for a second but you get the message.”
“I didn’t know what it was at first, it’s so long since I’ve seen one.”
“I thought it looked rather like your Billy’s.”
“Not at all, Billy’s is rounder at the top.”
Would you say the nun fetish thing is less prevalent in societies where people are more likely to see actual nuns sometimes? Like maybe the hot forbidden lesbinun fantasy can’t quite get any traction when you see 538 year old Sister Hairypmna in town now and then?
I’m as much a deviance enthusiast as anyone else here, but I have to say it’s one I’ve never quite seen the appeal of nor even encountered here in Ireland.
Yeah it shows how far we’ve come doesn’t it?
Very much out of the dark ages now.
I still think its so unbelievably tone deaf that an organization that institutionally abused, sold & murdered children for generations in Ireland thinks it has some right to be respected in any way.
They’re coming from Gdańsk to see it!
Havent been there since Sharon Stone seaaon
It’ll he shown in ALL the cinemas that usually show French language films.
Oh Paul Veerhoven? Wasn’t all this sort of thing done in the 1970s?(like The Devils?). It feels a bit adolescent to be doing it in 2022 as if it’s groundbreaking art and all rebellious.
Sounds good
Touch for the very first time like a vuuuuuuurgin
This sounds like the exact same controversy as The Devils from 1971.
It’s online already for anyone interested in that kinda thing. Robocop and starship troopers are amazing, lesbian nuns are a bit far removed from the other 2 movies 😅
Awful stuff altogether, you wouldn’t be interested at all
….Ah I think I’ll wander in
tell me which cinemas it is in, so i know which ones to avoid
can get it in 4K lol Benedetta 2021 2160p UHD BluRay Remux DV HEVC DTS-HD MA 5 1-HDT
You can show nuns getting fucked with a statue of Mary and yet you can’t even draw a picture of Muhammed.
Ah sure I might wander in
In fairness most of us would have been banned 30 years ago….
It’s based on a true story (to some extent) btw, so don’t forget it’s educational.
I never understand the point of “this kind of thing would have been banned in X Year”. Like yeah… isn’t that a good thing, that we don’t just ban things?
