[sriamerican]

• Verhoeven says he doesn't think Benedetta 'will be scandalous' in Europe
• Film is the story of a 17th century French nun who embarks upon a lesbian affair
• Contains scenes of lesbian sex, self-flagellation, nun- on-nun kissing and nudity
• But he fears it will be a different story in the US, where there is more 'puritanism'
