Did you know
- TriviaThe film was rejected for a UK certificate by the BBFC on the grounds of possible blasphemous libel. After an appeal failed the distributor took the case to the European Court of Human Rights in 1996 to consider whether the existence of a law of blasphemy was consistent with Freedom of Expression rights. The original BBFC decision was upheld and, until 2011, this remained the only film banned in the UK on the grounds of blasphemy. On January 31 2011, the BBFC lifted the ban and finally gave the film an 18 rating.

Featured review
Kisses in the Abbey
"Visions of Ecstasy" is a bad, boring, macho fantasy-interpretation of Santa Teresa de Ávila's acrobatics and passionate devotion, considering that the Spanish santa levitated every now and then, and was a good rider, going from town to town on horses, mules or holy brooms, to found new convents... Wingrove would have probably made something more interesting (and aerial and equestrian...) than this endless and lame lesbian scene, intercut with bland hetero action. Considering all the noise made when Scorsese made and released his adaptation of Kazantzakis' "The Last Temptation of Christ", the indifference and silence surrounding this one is suspicious...
