An emotional journey of self-discovery
18 August 2022
Wow! PassionFlix delivers - film adaptations that are true to the story as it is written. Tosca & team bring the book Gabriel's Rapture to its conclusion with this installment. I think this is my favorite one (out of the 6 parts). This installment is a visual treat, with stunning photography of key locations, most notably Italy. Picking up where Part 2 left off, Gabriel and Julia have gone their separate ways and are forced to navigate daily life without each other. Not an easy task after finally finding each other. Melanie Zanetti's portrayal of Julia has evolved from a quiet "rabbit" to a strong woman who stands up for herself. In Ms. Zanetti's hands, Julia's heartbreak at having to move on is palpable and you can see the internal struggle while doing everyday tasks to socializing with friends. Gabriel is on his own journey of self-discovery. And it is in this chapter that Guilio Berruti's talent as an actor SHINES! His ability to bring to life Gabriel's journey, primarily the emotional journey is riveting. The viewer can't help but feel the pain Gabriel feels wandering aimlessly through the streets of Italy. Supporting characters such as Grace, Maia and Paul move Julia and Gabriel's emotional journey forward. One can't help but feel sad for Paul in this story. James Andrew Fraser allows the viewer to feel Paul's disappointment at the outcome of the story. I am looking forward to the continuing story of Gabriel and his Julianne.
