Hasta La Ideas

We’d been checking in these past couple of days with the controversial stirrings at the Athens-based Acropolis Museum, which just recently opened its doors to the public. The issue was over a short film by director Costa-Gavras that plays in the museum, in particular a scene depicting Christians destroying sections of the structure. Although this is something that certainly happened in real life, the Greek Orthodox Church demanded that the scene by removed and the museum agreed to comply. This angered the Oscar-winning director who asked that his name be entirely stricken from the film out of protest. The controversy stirred up enough interest that a copy of the complete film was slipped onto YouTube, which helped word about it grow.
