Are there any movies forbidden in your own country?
Italy in general is very free, but I have found this list of forbidden/censored movies or movies who have been censored in the past, and... It's interesting. Here the list:
Citizen Berlusconi, never strasmissed on Public TV; sent only on Pay TV once in 2009.
Bye Bye Berlusconi, never distributed in Italy where it can be watched only if downloaded from the Internet.
Mechanical Orange. It has never been trasmissed on Tv until 1999 for Pay TV and until 2007 for Public Tv, but it could be bought almost in every newsagent or video shop.
Last Tango In Paris, banned until 1987.
Eyes Wide Shut in the Italian version lacks a sex scene.
1408 in the Italian version has an other end (he doesn't die, the firemen save him from the fire and bring him out of the room).
OIL a documentary about enviromental damages produced by the farms Sarroch and Saras.
They were called Briganti (Li chiamarono Briganti), a movie that revisits the history of the Unity, in particular the role of the Southern bands that fought against the Reunification and that were therefore called "Briganti" ("bandits"). It's almost unfindable in Italy.
