La Vie De Jesus Gets The Go-aheadCoventry City Council's Licensing Panel
has given permission for an unclassified film "La Vie de Jesus" to be screened
at the University of Warwick Arts Centre.
The film will be shown 27-30 November as part of a
Contemporary European Tour, but the licensing panel has directed that no one under 18
years of age must be admitted.
The members of the panel watched a private screening of the
film before making their decision.
One leading councillor who watched the film was not
impressed. He described it as "boring - more about racism than explicit sex".
Where a film is not submitted to the British Board of Film
Classification for a certificate, it falls to local councils to decide whether it can be
shown and to what age group.
