In 1989 a movie titled Visions of Ecatasy considered so shocking blasphemous and that it was banned even before its release in Britain. After 23 years, the same film would be released in original after the ban has been withheld.
The movie is about St. Teresa of Avila, a 16th century Spanish nun and mystic who had visions of Christ, which lasted almost uninterrupted for two years.
The 18-minute film is an interpretation of these visions and includes sexual scenes involving St. Teresa and another woman, who represents her psyche.
The scenes are interlaced with shots of the nun lying on Christ, who is still nailed to the cross, and caressing him.
The film was inspired by a statue by 17th century sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini titled St. Teresa in Ecstasy, which is located in Rome.
But the film will now be released after the British Board of Film Classification overturned its original decision.
