Sex film offends
NZPA-Reuter Seoul More than 500 Buddhist nuns have staged an overnight sit-in protest to demand an immediate halt to production of a film featuring the sex life of a Buddhist nun. the Buddhist Administration said. The nuns said sex scenes in the film would seriously misrepresent the image of Buddhism. South Korea's predominant religion. Witnesses said the nuns cut their fingers and wrote in blood such slogans as: "We shall stop the film production with life-and-death determination." But the film's producers said they would continue to shoot it. They said their purpose was not to criticise religion but to depict an aspect of human existence.
