Censorship "Exterior Night"?
"Exterior Night" is the name of the Venice film festival Venice Film Festival decentralized in Venice and Mestre.
What is? Each year a selection of films at the festival, after the official projections of the Lido in Venice is brought to the cinema Giorgione Movie D'Essai Mestre and the cinema Cityplex Palace .
What happened today? Today was expected to double projection (at 16.30 and 19) of the film Francesca Bobby Paunescu, the opening film in the Horizons section, film Giorgione Movie D'Essai in Venice.
The film is a Romanian teacher who begins to think of wanting to emigrate to Italy ...
I and other interested viewers, we reached the cinema, and as usual we waited in a line that opened the ticket office (this makes you realize how it would be appropriate to amplify the salt and the projections of "Inside the night", perhaps even in other cities, but this is another story) ... While we were waiting out of the cinema a girl who announced that he received a phone call in which they were told that screening of the film "Frances" has been canceled ... without giving us an explanation ...
They get questions from all sides, the strip melts, they flocked to ask the girl ... But what happened?
In the meantime, I think 'Oh well, I'll see him tomorrow in Mestre "... but I am in doubt and wonder ... "But it is also deleted in Mestre, which is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon ?"... Answer: "Yes ".... "Why?" No answer ...... mah ...
It is certainly a success that some movies were deleted, but usually were those that had received little support at the Lido, but this was like ...
And finally, here's a strange news ... in the film while a character speaks, the insults Mussolini and the mayor of Verona .... Mussolini has said that 'threat to seek the seizure of the film' ...
make sure that in this case 1 +1 = 2 seems really the only explanation ...
But perhaps it would not be too much? Italian politicians have that power if they can stop the screening of the film in a review of the Venice Film Festival (which raises the level of "art show", so to speak) ... ie even before the official release in cinemas across Italy (and thus the level of 'commercial ")... What will this film do not have to be seen even by the few (compared to the whole Italian population) below "Inside the night"??
More ... Mussolini claims 'imagine what would happen if a film of one of our director took to swearing a member of another country' ... but she knows she is in a country where politics and official situations flying at random swear words and terms used every day? Where the chairman of the board allows you to quote the balls in the middle of the Italians? That gives the kapo a MEP in the Journal! Etc. ..
In the film, a character, a father talking to his daughter who wants to emigrate to Italy, gives the puttanta to Mussolini and the asshole the mayor of Verona ... and this film is immediately censored ... would say that for so little can not be the reason that can not be a coincidence that Mussolini make a fuss and the day after the screenings will be canceled ... but perhaps this is just a hope. However
the film should be released in theaters in late October ... let's go out and see if, in the case, if it is intact or if those words are censored ...
