Gabriel's Rapture has always been my favorite volume so I was eagerly looking forward to the film. Every time another GI movie came out I felt it was slightly better than the last one. But Gabriel's Rapture Part 3 represents a new level which can be called PERFECTION. The acting of Giulio and Melanie has not given us any reason to complain so far, but what they had to bring in this part was much more, since it presents the greatest depths and heights of the human soul. I have NEVER seen such emotions on screen. Giulio and Melanie's emotional expressions are more than real and exude incredible power. When you watch them, you feel that you can't quit. Their gaze, their facial expressions, their posture, their movements, even the rhythm of their breaths, all contribute to perfectly convey the characters' spiritual state, most subtle emotions. As Gabriel and Julia grow throughout the story, Giulio and Melanie's progress is spectacular too. They get more and more connected to their characters, they can be more and more one with them. By now Giulio and Melanie are fully mature for these roles. But I could also mention all the other actors. They are also great. And then some other things I love in it: 1. Perfectly created tension-filled scenes, when you're almost holding your breath. E.g. When they are talking on that rainy night in Julia's apartment and their stuttering conversation is full of screaming silence. 2. Beautiful cinematography, visual elements that completely serve the story. E.g. How the film takes us from that rainy night to the next day. The clouds disappear and are replaced by a beautiful blue sky. What a beautiful reference to the state of their heart and relationship. The tough times are over, and hope is raised. 3. Amazing musical elements that help us to feel every moment even more deeply. My absolute favorite is Angela Little's song "St. Francis' Prayer", which has both moving lyrics and melody and fits the Florentine scenes perfectly. So how much did the film touch me? Very much! First I was crying and anxious. Then I was relieved. And at the end I soared. I was totally a part of this heart-rending and uplifting journey all along. Gabriel's Rapture Part 3 is about deep emotions, about soul, about spirituality, about growth, about hope and new start. So its pace can't be fast. You have to watch it with your soul. You have to give yourself completely to the experience. If you can't do that, it won't touch you. This is the part that makes me love this series the most.

The combination of extremely expressive and authentic acting, wonderful photography, stunning surroundings and music is absolutely captivating. Giulio and Melanie are increasingly embracing these characters and their chemistry is marvellous. I love that this movie is so loyal to the book and perfectly reflects the atmosphere of it. I'm so grateful that it also contains the deep conversations of the main characters, which are very important parts of this journey. I have never seen such an amazing love story and true film adaptation.

I've already seen Gabriel's Inferno (Prt 1-3) at least 3 times and I'm completely under the influence of it! It's a magical story, full of true, pure love, not just about the physical but much more, about a deep spiritual connection. It's so beautiful and touching to experience how Gabriel and Julia heal each other's soul through acceptance, unconditional love, forgiveness, support, attachment, tenderness, affection and kindness. Giulio Berruti and Melanie Zanetti are very gifted actors and with their extremely expressive acting , exquisite chemistry, unity and harmony they created an exceptional movie. Every movement, every vibration reflects intense emotions. I've never thought that there is an actor like Giulio who can convey emotions in this way. And the Love scene is a dream. Sensuality and passion mix with sensitivity and tenderness. Every glance, every touch, every word is so appropriate and takes closer to the final consummation. It's so veritable, so perfect and there's so much warmth in it. Tosca and all the Passionflix team did a brilliant job and they took the genre of romantic movies onto the highest level. It's clear that the whole team put their heart and all their efforts into this production. This film is such a miracle...a blessing...a piece of Heaven.
