RAI pledged to show the complete movie soon. When it was decided to air it late at night, no one checked for the uncut version, it said. RAI said in a statement the film had arrived from the distributor already cut so that it could be shown in prime time. In an interview with La Repubblica daily, Luxuria said cutting the key scenes was 'like showing the Mona Lisa without its head.' 'I don't believe it was an oversight, I believe it was preventive censorship,' said gay rights advocate and former lawmaker Vladimir Luxuria. RAI's second channel aired the film on Monday cutting out a sex scene and a sequence showing a kiss between the lead characters, played by the late Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The 2005 movie won three Oscars, including the best director award for Lee, as well as the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
