Little Hours demeaning, disgusting

Re: review of The Little Hours, Tuesday, Aug. 29. (Movie shown at PAC this week)

I was dumbfounded at this reviewer’s attempt to give credence to the artless, foul piece of garbage called The Little Hours.

We went to the Film House at PAC on Wednesday, to see the movie Strangers on the Earth. It’s a beautiful, well done film about the Camino de Santiago, and documents a young man’s travels with his cello, which he played in churches along the way, on the 2,000-yearold path of pilgrimage, from France to Spain.

I would guess that most of the audience was probably religious, or looking for some kind of spiritual content in this film. We were very pleased with the presentation.

However, before we got to see the Camino movie, we sat in shocked dismay as we were bombarded with the preview of the disgusting, pornographic film The Little Hours.

We had to listen to the demeaning song throughout the trailer. while faced with this absolutely disgraceful mockery of convent life and other aspects of Catholicism.

Whoever made the decision to present this preview showed extremely poor judgement.

I wonder if you would have shown a film degrading and mocking Muslims or Islam?

We, as citizens of St. Catharines, have paid for the arts centre and supported it by attending many of the wonderful productions presented in its beautiful and varied theatres,

We expect much higher quality from The Performing Arts Centre!
