We understand that its themes might be a little controversial, but this is just RIDICULOUS!
Eva Longoria recently filmed a role in a new film, called Without Men, in which she is left in charge of a small Latin American village after all of the men are recruited by a band of guerillas, and as if it would be some surprise, the story explores lesbian relationships that take place between some of the female characters in the other gender’s absence!
However, we’re shocked to report that in Spain, film executives have cut all of the aforementioned scenes featuring that plotline!
Director Xavier Daniel explains:
“We received word from the Spanish distributor specifying that upon the film’s debut in Spain, all of the lesbian scenes will be removed. We’re very upset that a company would alter a film that way. People won’t fully understand the plot if all the female love scenes are cut. It’s unbelievable that this would happen in 2011.”
Unbelievable is right! AND shameful!
It seems to be an integral part of the movie – it’s not as though they’re just gratuitous!
And even if they were – it’s his right as a filmmaker!
This really stinks, Spain! What kind of message are you trying to send about homosexuality?
Check out the trailer for the film (above)! What do U think? Should it be edited?
