Gabriel's Rapture: Part Three

To be able to create books and characters that millions hold dear to their heart is an amazing accomplishment, but to then bring that accomplishment to life while keeping true to the books, and also through the choice of cast, screenwriter, settings, music and cinematography takes a visionary of a director. Sylvain Reynard and Tosca Musk are the perfect pairing.

Of the movies, I loved Gabriel's Inferno and I love Gabriel's Rapture even more, especially Part 3. Gabriel's Rapture took viewers through every human emotion, and yet the movie Part 3 showed that even after the darkest of times, there is hope and leads to joy.

In other words, fabulous, fantastic, phenomenal!!!!! Director, cast, crew and Passionflix staff you've surpassed my expectations, and I'm a borderline perfectionist. Giulio Berruti, Melanie Zanetti and James Andrew Fraser you are excellent actors and made the audience feel every heartbreak, fear and joy with them. The screenplay by Mary Pocrnic included all the pivotal and poignant moments. Tosca Musk you are a true master of setting the scene (the clouds calming to indicate a calming of their lives.) and all the cinematography and settings are magnificent. Tosca has the ability to bring the best out of each and everyone involved. Sylvain Reynard's written story is a masterpiece, and under Tosca's direction the masterpiece was brought to life. Ten stars.

Wow! PassionFlix delivers - film adaptations that are true to the story as it is written. Tosca & team bring the book Gabriel's Rapture to its conclusion with this installment. I think this is my favorite one (out of the 6 parts). This installment is a visual treat, with stunning photography of key locations, most notably Italy. Picking up where Part 2 left off, Gabriel and Julia have gone their separate ways and are forced to navigate daily life without each other. Not an easy task after finally finding each other. Melanie Zanetti's portrayal of Julia has evolved from a quiet "rabbit" to a strong woman who stands up for herself. In Ms. Zanetti's hands, Julia's heartbreak at having to move on is palpable and you can see the internal struggle while doing everyday tasks to socializing with friends. Gabriel is on his own journey of self-discovery. And it is in this chapter that Guilio Berruti's talent as an actor SHINES! His ability to bring to life Gabriel's journey, primarily the emotional journey is riveting. The viewer can't help but feel the pain Gabriel feels wandering aimlessly through the streets of Italy. Supporting characters such as Grace, Maia and Paul move Julia and Gabriel's emotional journey forward. One can't help but feel sad for Paul in this story. James Andrew Fraser allows the viewer to feel Paul's disappointment at the outcome of the story. I am looking forward to the continuing story of Gabriel and his Julianne.

It is without doubt one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. Every emotion, the story, the music is perfection. I can not wait for Redemption. I can not wait stop watching the whole series.

Boring boring boring don't waste your time or money with this series it's the most boring book and movie I've seen and read. I'd rather go to Italy than see this or read it.

Who would have thought quoting a Bible verse could be sexy? (Seriously, read the Song of Solomon!) The two leads really become their perfectly imperfect characters. I'm left with the hope true love and redemption is possible for anyone.
