Visions of Ecstasy background

Visions of Ecstasy

The film presents a visually stunning portrayal of the life of St Teresa, a 16th century Carmelite nun, exploring her spiritual journey and inner experiences through sensual and intimate imagery.

The film "Visions of Ecstasy" was initially banned by the British Board of Film Classification for blasphemy, depicting St. Theresa in sexual visions with a woman and Jesus Christ. Despite its experimental nature, the film's themes of sexual and religious ecstasy sparked controversy, leading to a ban until 2008 when blasphemy laws were repealed.
