Conservative politicians have lined up to lambast an EU promotional film that showcases a collection of classic sex scenes from European movies. Entitled Film Lovers Will Love This, the 44-second montage features the sweaty antics of 18 couples, both heterosexual and homosexual, and climaxes with the slogan "Let's come together".
Film Lovers Will Love This includes fleeting clips from such recent art-house hits as Amelie and Pedro Almodovar's Bad Education. Since its debut on the European Commission's YouTube channel last week, the EU film has been viewed a whopping 280,000 times. By contrast the Commission's second most successful clip - a film about humanitarian aid - has attracted less than 30,000 viewers.
