One or two of them were asked if they had actually seen the film and all replied that they hadn't :lookingup: Title: Re: Criterion Haul July 2022 Post by: Olivia Bauer on July 03, 2022, 09:42:37 AM -The Last Temptation of Christ I remember the censorship controversy that film went through here back in 1989 and it ended up getting banned for a very long time: many people denounced the film, especially some religious leaders.

You got a real nice haul. Of those I own "Scanners" and "Last Temptation of Christ." I've seen all but "Circus," "Dekalog," "The Quatsi Trilogy," "Breaking the Waves," and "The Apu Trilogy." "The Last Temptation of Christ" is, of course, an overwhelmingly religious movie, which is why the complaints against it by Christian groups were insane.

Exactly: I have religious beliefs, I've seen the film and I don't find it blasphemous.
