Isabel was nailed to\u00a0<strong>The Wheel<\/strong>\u00a0and suffers more incredible torture. The position of the wheel is upright for the final scene. Isabel is no longer attached to the wheel by ropes, huge nails on her hands and feet keep her in place. Bea had a very difficult time when the wheel was at a slight angle and her body was somewhat resting on it; however, when she wasn&#8217;t turning around, she was upside down for the most part of, her body supported by her ankles. She complained to Jac that it was very, very painful. She thought it would be better with her standing on the wheel. She was wrong. Bea suffered true torture for her art. The stress to her arms and legs was tremendous, her legs were trembling and it was not acting. The pain was real. Her coronation was a fitting end for the story, Bea\/Anna is now the<span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"> <\/span><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Queen of Pain And Suffering in the world of Red Feline<\/span><\/strong>. Will she hold the title for as long as Camille and\/or Amy? We won&#8217;t know until Jac and Bea hold their celebratory dinner Tuesday night, she is kind of sick now. They will have their own wrap party that day and maybe, just maybe, discuss the future of their extreme sadomasochistic collaboration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2k4LLwc\" target=\"_blank\">Read more of their incredible adventures at The Red Feline Club<\/a><\/strong><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2k4LLwc\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2k4LLwc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PassionIsabelSc07Still_15013918-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2295\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PassionIsabelSc07Still_15013918-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PassionIsabelSc07Still_15013918-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PassionIsabelSc07Still_15013918-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PassionIsabelSc07Still_15013918-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PassionIsabelSc07Still_15013918.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">Dear Jac and all the team members of The Passion of Isabel: Will Be a get branding torture?

There&#8217;s the building of the fire, the heating of the iron and the burning of the flesh. It took three days and something like four people to work the branding scene in\u00a0<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Maleficarum<\/span><\/strong>. Jac was working alone in\u00a0<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The Passion of Isabel<\/span><\/strong>, no crew to help with the effects. It was difficult enough for him to set up the tortures, resolve and work on the make-up effects of pricking and whipping, the setting of the wheel on the different ways it was set up with Bea on it, so branding was kind of extremely difficult. When we began the campaign for this film we offered the possibility of suggesting tortures and contributing towards them. There weren&#8217;t many contributors and the ones we receive were only for The Wheel tortures. There was the suggestion for The Spanish Horse at one point, which was under consideration, but there wasn&#8217;t enough support for it. Maybe we will produce\u00a0<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Maleficarum II<\/span><\/strong>, if we have the budget for that film, of course, and that&#8217;s the film where we can have some amazing branding scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"http:\/\/redfeline.com\/promos\/Maleficarum\/Maleficarum0860.jpg\" alt=\"Maleficarum0860.jpg\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">And two very subjective votes: Natalie Portman and Camille from rfpix<\/span><\/em><\/p><cite><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Quoom<\/span><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>When Jac met Natalie Portman in person in New York and saw how beautiful and small she was, as beautiful and small as Camille, he agreed with Vero who, when she saw\u00a0<strong>The Professional<\/strong>, Portman&#8217;s first role in film, she compared Natalie&#8217;s character to her sister saying:\u00a0<em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">she&#8217;s exactly like Carmen<\/span><\/em>.

As director she must assume some responsibility for any negative outcomes the cast might suffer as a result of filming. \u201cSo if you\u2019re [the director] leading this person down a rabbit hole that is not nice, it\u2019s your responsibility to care for them afterwards, make sure that they are alright and can get out of it. It often takes a lot more work than leading them into it,\u201d Amy declares. Of course for Amy, she is often her own director and that presents further issues. \u201cI haven\u2019t really had much help with that in my films, so that\u2019s the hardest part for me. I\u2019ll chose these characters so in order to portray them I have to travel to very, very dark place inside myself. And getting out of that becomes this terribly hard work, rather difficult and painful work to create other pathways. The most difficult part for me is getting back to myself and be in a positive space, to be happy and not to be in a dark miserable place.\u201d I mention her role in Maleficarum where she is tortured and crucified in the name of religion.
