Edit: The most interesting moment in that for me is the man saying that the Pope/Vatican’s voew on the film is enough for him to determine it is blasphemous.
That wasn’t a banana Dougal
1985 had seen the whole moving statues phenomena so its fair to say things were particularly grim in the mid 80s. Oh and the economy was a smoking ruin as well
Hail Mary (French: Je vous salue, Marie) is a 1985 French avant-garde erotic drama film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The film is a modern retelling of the story of the virgin birth. It was entered into the 35th Berlin International Film Festival.
I remember when The Omen remake was released there a bunch of lads dressed as Satanists had a mock protest outside a cinema in Cork as it was an unfair representation
Has anyone actually seen it, and was it any good. ??
You’d what people like the guy at 2:59 or the woman at 4:28 are up to today. Do they look back at this and cringe or are they just further entrenched in their beliefs?
Sure I might wander in
I’ve always loved this clip. The Auld Wan from Cork on about Mary holding back Jesus like he was some drunk lad at a bar going to flake a fella. Absolute fucking moron. Thankfully these clowns have nearly died out.
Bahahhahaha
Great movie. I hear you see his lad and everything.
Fuck , what was Ireland like when the exorcist shown in 73?
Genuinely curious as to whether a member of the Burke family is there
“I know the pope has come out against it, and that’s enough for me” thank fuck these judgmental cunts’ influence has mostly evaporated.
The irony is they did nothing to prevent filthy priests touching the youth
Also reminds me when the protests against Kevin Smith’s dogma in the States were on the news, Kevin Smith saw it live, went and joined the protest and ended up interviewed as a protester on the news 😂

Careful now
We’ve come a long way thankfully.

The guy at the 5 minute mark is hilarious.
He goes off on a rant about the movie being blasphemous, the pope, Rome … while everyone else chats to themselves and the voice over speaks over him.
Classic RTE
Dirty feckers wanting to watch a film with boobies and the like.
And then he got his lad out!
this scene is [Gold](https://youtu.be/adh58llAw-c?t=228)!
and 30 years later we are returning to censorship
Strong Enoch vibes from that guy with the glasses at the end there, if say the pair of them could compare notes on the virginity front…
Was also inspired by the reaction to the release of The Last Temptation of Christ
There were protests at Scorsese’s Last Temptation of Christ in 1988 too.
