Tannoura Maxi banned from Lebanese cinemas

According to this article, Tannoura Maxi has joined the list of banned movies from Lebanese cinemas after the Catholic Information Center requested the General Security to pull the movie from theaters.

I heard so much about the movie being lame and disrespecting to Christianity, but then again didn’t Nadine Labaki show goats inside a mosque in her latest movie “W Halla’ Lawein“? Why can’t the General Security in Lebanon set a standard once and for all and apply it to all movies? And how effective is the ban anyway when you know beforehand that the movie is going to hit DVD stores whether you like it or not?

Anyway, I just feel sorry for Joe Bou Eid because it was pretty obvious that he was spending lot of money on promoting his movie.

    It’s a sad day, we are back to the dark ages where the church will ban what it likes, anyone who is for the freedom of artistic expression should oppose it, the movie might be lame, but what the church did is Lamer, really arts are for the elite and the church is so ignorant.

    We need the REAL Christian priests who have some education level to lead the church.

    @christian … ur right but they were eating the Kour2an and she broke Virgin Mary statue and then described it as becoming like Saint Charbel.
    I hope you have the chance to watch TANNOURA MAXI
    On another hand how sad that the church is making her citizen hate her by what she’s doing. Shame how they accept a foreign movie in the Lebanese theater where a nun, wearing the head dress is naked and having sex but they don’t accept when a Lebanese movie point to the truth.

    I believe it was a right choice to ban this silly movie that doesn’t respect religions and just focus on nudity and sex relationships. I don’t think that our community needs such further movies and the new generation directors should focus on making better and more informative films to improve the morals of our future generations rather than destroying them.
