An outdoor screening of Greta Gerwig’s hit movie Barbie has been cancelled in a Paris suburb over threats from opponents who believe the blockbuster “advocates homosexuality”.
The free-to-enter screening in the Parisian suburb of Noisy-le-Sec of the comedy movie, which stars Margot Robbie in the titular role and Ryan Gosling as Ken, was cancelled just before the scheduled launch last Friday (8 August), as per local outlet Le Parisien.
While Barbie features several prominent LGBTQ+ actors, including Hari Nef and Kate McKinnon, there is not much in the way of LGBTQ+ storylines. The film follows Barbie’s journey to the real world while she grapples with her purpose in life.
Mayor Olivier Sarrabeyrouse announced the cancellation publicly on Monday (11 August), alleging that “an extreme minority of thugs, who, no doubt, had not seen the film, transformed a simple free open-air cinema screening open to all into a violent opposition movement.”
