After the box office success of Manuale d'amore it is (to a certain extent) understandable that Giovanni Veronesi has rushed to prepare a second part, according to him more risky and provocative in his approaches.
What is perhaps not so much is some of the ways used to promote the film, when it is still being filmed, and not because they are scandalous, but because they are so obvious and even a little embarrassing.
In October, news broke that scenes from the film starring Monica Belluci and Riccardo Scamarcio had had to be cut for being too harsh and s-xually explicit. It was even commented that the rest of the filming team had to leave the actors alone, so that they could enjoy more privacy.
For me this "I've shot the hottest thing you've ever seen, I'll tell you, but I won't put it on", it was already very suspicious, but what I didn't expect was to find a month later that a magazine had published the images of the romp in question, exclusively, monopolizing the cover and announcing them as the prohibited photos of Manuale d'amore 2.
Unbelievable. Is it that nobody told Aurelio de Laurentiis the story of The Goose that lays the Golden Eggs as a child? And above all, what will be next?
