This is so fascinating!

That's the same excuse some people gave when they were trying to stop Brexit, the movie (of course!) I wonder what would they think about the Church using it to stop a film denouncing child sexual abuse! I mean, of course the priest deserves due process but the victims and the artist deserve to gave their point of view! The jury’s objective is to be objective no matter what society says, including movies but also press and general opinions. You just can’t ban other’s people opinions! Time will tell if they are right or wrong!
Also another example of “an ongoing criminal process” (and actual one. Not one that hasn’t even begin and who knows if it will!) inspiring a film.
The domestic theatrical release of Ozon's work, which tackles France's most important church child abuse trial to date, was threatened as the priest at the center of the case had gone to court to try to prevent it from being shown in the country.
The judge determined that film meets the requirements of the law since a text in its epilogue mentions that the priest is presumed innocent until found guilty. However, the priest's lawyer said they would appeal the decision, even if it would not prevent the movie's release. "It's a question of principle," the attorney said, adding that it would otherwise open the door to films interfering with legal action.
