La Belle Saison: the poster censored by FN mayor – Le Figaro

The film, preselected to represent France at the Oscars, did not sit well with an elected right-wing of Camaret-sur-Aigues in Vaucluse, which decided to ban the main image, two entwined women.

The National Front has never really felt elective affinities or with culture nor with homosexuality. The mayor of the municipality of Camaret-sur-Aigues in Vaucluse, Philippe Beauregard (FN), has once again prove it.

On the website of the municipality, as the town hall, one finds no trace of the film La Belle Saison , though it released Thursday, September 17 at the cinema of the town. What amazes even more moviegoers that the posters were maintained in the rest of the village, reports Le Dauphiné . Yet it is customary for this town to promote feature films in the program of René-Roussière room.

The poster for La Belle Saison represents two women, Izia Higelin and Cécile de France, entwined. The film by Catherine Corsini, all age and no age limit, has even been preselected to be the one to represent France in the race for best foreign film at the Oscars 2016.
