Isabel makes room for Pygmalion

The fourth week of editing for The Passion of Isabel ended on Sunday, April 30th, but Friday night and Saturday Jac decided to take a break from his new film to dedicate some time to Pygmalion. It was a good idea, Jac had the chance to get some distance from the new film and go back to Amy’s great movie. He was doing some fine editing with it before he embarked in his new production with Bea. He watched what he already did with Pygmalion, decided what needs to be trimmed further and what needs to be altered to improve the structure and got to work, his bottle of beer at hand and his cats surrounding him. He’s happy with what he did so he will return to The Passion today and stick with it for the rest of the FIFHT week.

I hoped to have an approximated date of release, but I don’t. I won’t have it until the first cut is done, which could happen by the end of this coming week or the next. However, if I were to guess, The Passion will be ready by the end of the month of May or within the first couple of weeks in June. No later than that. But that’s my uneducated guess.

We’re getting more surprises. It was not enough that an actress, Danielle, contacted Jac because she loved JUSTINE, someone else contacted Jac, a woman who desperately wants to have a copy of Sirwiñakuy … but that’s not the end of the story, she is part of a BDSM community here and wants her group to go to a screening of JUSTINE and have Jac give a talk. Her group is made of many people from different cities. They are getting together on May 14th for an event here, I didn’t know there were such groups in this country and that they held events, and they want JUSTINE to be part of it, to have discussions and, to top it, to purchase an autographed copy of Sirwiñakuy as well.

7 years since its release, Sirwiñakuy still goes around making waves. That’s is very nice and very encouraging for a new film Jac is planning, one he had in mind back in 2010, Dolores’s Cage. It was going to be a first film for Mila and with Amy in the leading role, but Maleficarum happened, and together with BARBAZUL and Le Marquis de la Croix, pushed that script way deep down in the development pile.

Jac un-dusted the script a couple of days ago because he was asked about Mila for a long series of articles about her and Le Marquis de la Croix. He was telling the story of how when he met Mila, how she inspired him for a character for a movie… that talk led to him to wonder if the script was as good as he remembered it and if it was production worthy. He read the old, abandoned script and decided that is really good and it should be done now because it was written as a film to be produced without any money, but since Amy would not be available and Mila has taken a sabbatical, he would have to produce it with a different cast. As a matter of fact, he thinks that it would be a good way to break in Danielle before she gets to do the rough stuff in Maleficarum II.

There’s a new review/essay by Rich Moreland, this time he looks into Le Marquis de la Croix.

Le Marquis de la Croix is a literary fantasy that operates on different levels. On the surface, it has definite appeal to the BDSM community. Heavily sadomasochistic, the whippings and rack scenes are about as exciting as a bondage film gets. It is realism personified. The film does, however, offer more. There is an engaging political and religious message that is as appropriate today as it was in Sade’s time, the 18th century setting of the narrative. Told with a modern flavor, the story also hints at the erotic fascinations of a modern tourist who seeks out a museum then confronts her own sexual fantasies in an ending that, as they like to say in commercial media, is priceless.

Red Feline on the Cross – The classic tale of torture and crucifixion. This is our all time bestseller. Red Feline endures seven deliciously nasty tortures just because she walks into the right place at the wrong time. She’s the perfect martyr because she’s a fantasy, her own wild fantasy. You’ll have to repeat to yourself … “It’s only a fantasy … It’s only a fantasy”. A long, endless nightmare of whipping, torture and crucifixion. If you haven’t seen this, you haven’t seen anything at all.
