Isabel And The Illusion of Escape!

As The Passion of Isabel continues moving forward and higher, Bea and Jac are having meetings and more meetings, working out the details for future projects. One such meeting is taking place this afternoon, over tea, as usual. The issue at hand is Cage, the film that is in pre-production now. Bea will play a young woman with two contradictory personalities who falls … or jumps, into the hands of the sinister Dr Jekyll who imprisons and tortures her.

7.- Martyr – 89 points

Martyr Or The Death of Saint Eulalia remains as part of the 10 best sellers at the very appropriate number 7. This very intense and intimate film captured Amy’s imagination and inspired her to join Jac for a decade of incredibly challenging and daring filmmaking.

In Amy’s words:

Martyr is punctuated by photo sessions which provide the structure of Camille’s transformation, and Camille’s subsequent catharsis. In all of Gabrielle’s shoots, we see the camera, the flash, we hear the clicking of the shutter, and the first of Camille’s photoshoots has these elements as well. But as Camille approaches Eulalia through her work in the studio, the camera seems to fade from view, the click of the shutter is less frequent, we pass through the veil into Camille’s private world, where she is becoming Eulalia, and nothing else matters or exists.
