Gabriel's Rapture: Part One

The first movie in the series is better, but that isn't saying much. The high scoring, favorable reviews for this are fake. This is basically the same movie as the first one but watered down a bit. The first was more convincing in portraying the forbidden love between professor and student. This movie plays on the same theme but skips more of the drama and gets more into the sexual tension and romance. It's an embellished female fantasy of having a handsome, wealthy suitor who lavishes attention and fine dining, etc. without having sexual demands in return. There is a LOT of suck face going on, and it gets tiresome after a while. The movie does capture some of the same mood as the first one, so if you particularly liked the first one you might like this. But it mostly just plays like a bad harlequin romance novel.

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.

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.

How honored are we as fans that Tosca Musk has made the Gabriel Inferno, Rapture and soon to be Redemption films? We would never get such a true and accurate reflection of these books if it wasn't for Passionflix. I absolutely cannot wait for part ll and lll!!!

A second part that makes you want more and ask not to finish. The energy of the actors show us a chemistry that makes you doubt if it's acting
