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film's themes of sexual and religious ecstasy sparked controversy, leading to a ban until 2008 when blasphemy laws were repealed.
