I found it very interesting article I found in The Country about film censorship in Spain, coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of premiere in our country La Dolce Vita, one of the masterpieces of Fellini, in reality twenty years old. What led to the banning of the film was not so much the famous scene in which Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg bathing in the Trevi Fountain as the party almost orgiastic Sutri Castle.
censorship, conducted by the High Board of Film Orientation, was often crude, as when the pair were brothers adulterous Mogambo John Ford. It is seen that incest was preferable to adultery, it does not conceal the kisses or jealousy, but then removed in Pasolini's Oedipus Rex the scene where the protagonist Yoclasta sleeps with his own mother, essential to understanding the tragedy. And the height of tacky was to change the bleak end of such films as Bicycle Thief or The 400 Blows adding a voiceover that radically transformed the meaning.
Anyway, what else have we lost in those years of Franco's regime, not only on film censorship coming from outside, but rather on the production country, which was quite limited to geniuses like Berlanga. Country ... If you want to know more do not fail to read the original article .
