Gabriel's Rapture: Part One

I watched it on its own on the 24th, and yesterday, I watched all, GI movies and GR togethet. The locations, the music, the story is as always faithful to the book. The acting was excellent, Giulio and Melanie really pull it off, and the rest of the cast, were great. Natalie was a real piece of work.. I don't think any of it could of been better.

Gabriel's rapture is such a beautiful continuation of Gabriel's inferno. Can't wait to watch episode 2!!!!!!The main characters are very comfortable with each other now and this makes their love story look more real. Keep up the good work as we follow your journey to find everlasting love!!!

Why? Because at its core it's a film about a long courtship and a romance that is passionate but chaste, intense but forbidden. There are no hidden agendas and kinks here, isn't obsessed with being crammed with explicit sex scenes, but just good old fashioned emotional erotica. For those who still have even the slightest romantic side left, this might just make you melt in your chair while laughing at how silly you are for doing it. Bravo! Bring on the next one.

I loved the first three movies, and this one was all right, but honestly the farther into the story you get, the more annoying Julia's character gets. Have to admit I haven't read the books, but whiny female characters are definitely not for me, and she only gets whinier as time goes on. I won't add spoilers, but she's immature, naive, and her expectations on Gabriel are unrealistic. I've also never seen a single grad student behave like her. Maybe a freshman. Gabriel is seriously sexy though, so that partially makes up for the annoying female lead.

A beautifully shot first film in the Gabriels Rapture story. The chemistry between Giulio Berruti and Melanie Zanetti is wonderful. All in all a pleasure to watch. Definitely does justice to the novel.
