Most cinemas to miss gay cowboy hit

ONE of the most talked about films in recent years won’t make it into cinemas in many parts of the country.

This had prompted fears from some cinema fans of a return to the darker days of censorship in Ireland - but it emerges a distribution row is to blame.

Brokeback Mountain, dubbed the ‘gay cowboy’ film, earned enormous advance publicity due to its subject matter. Rave reviews, four Golden Globes and nine Bafta nominations have further heightened interest in the film.
