Belgian actress Virginie Efira received the Leopard Club Award at the Locarno Film Festival. She spoke there about her role in Paul Verhoeven's *Benedetta*. The film, about a nun who enters into a scandalous relationship with another nun, sparked protests in several countries. Efira herself was not bothered by this. When Verhoeven told her that there would be lesbian sex scenes in the film, she simply responded: "No problem." The actress says she is a fan of *Showgirls*. She considered the controversy surrounding *Benedetta* to be something to enjoy.
