Crucify Me!

We posted a bit of the arguments about the possible change of title for the Female Christ movie at Patreon. It’s a discussion we might as well spread around a bit.

Here it goes.

There’s a movie by Pedro Almodovar that has a suggestive poster and title. The title of the film is Átame! which was translated as Tie Me Up Tie Me down.

There is a scene in Martyr or The Death oF St Eulalia where Camille asks Tadeusz:

  • Camille:You want to put me on a cross?
  • Tadeusz: I didn’t mean that
  • Camille: Why not? Crucify me!

Like Martyr, or Atame!, a suggestive title works very well. 

In the miniseries that Jac did with Carmen aka Camille in the early 90’s. Genevieve, the character Carmen plays, is sitting at a table smoking a cigarette and thinking. On the wall behind her there’s poster of the Spielberg’s movie Hook, above the title there’s a caption that reads What if Peter Pan Grew Up?

That’s the premise for that movie. The premise for Seditiosa is What if Jesus had been a woman?

We are playing for possible titles if we want to change the current one. Some people like Seditiosa, some people liked Yahel The Nazarene, it could also be Yahel A Nazarene, or we could go out there with something like Crucify Me! or Crucified or Yahel The Crucified

None of the possible titles listed here are above Seditiosa, at least not for now. But it is possible that whatever title is chosen, the premise could go above or below the title, like in Justine.

A dramatic title could be Yahel The Chosen One, or Yahel The Anointed.

One possible title would be simply YAHEL with the phrase under the title What If Christ Had Been A Woman?

However, Jac had a frank conversation with Erix, who has no particular leaning to the subject of crucifixion and the like, he grew up a New Yorker with no religious teachings, and his likes and dislikes are not of the common denominator in these parts. They were discussing the pitch and Jac brought up the title. 

In Erix opinion, Seditiosa is a more engaging title, Yahel does not mean anything to him. That’s his opinion.

Yahel has meaning to Jac and the meaning grows by the day, it doesn’t mean that it is appealing to the world at large and yet, he’s having what he calls a “moment” with Yahel.

And that’s where the brain of our director is at this point in time and his rather distracted behavior is definitely freaking out the cats.

We must decide the title yesterday…

I don’t think you can go wrong with either!

Agree with JB, they are all good! I think having the word ‘Crucified’ included one way or another is good from a commercial point of view. Also a bit ‘provocative’, but RF films is the company that ‘dares’….. 🙂 This title is too long but maybe something like ‘Yahel – The crucified female Christ’. As JB said, I think all of the above suggestions will work fine! ‘

As we get near to launch our IndieGoGo campaign, the title Seditiosa will remain as the official title. It doesn’t mean that we can’t change it later, like we did with Maleficarum and Sirwiñakuy, but for the purposes of the campaign, Seditiosa it is.
