Review: The second attempt of the French
esoteric writer Mario Mercie make a movie was a little better than his
experiment with «La Goulve». At least the "Pope" is able to look beyond
the initial stages of the adepts of magic initiation, but also quite
normal people, which the film is quite possible to apply sauce mystical
horror, especially if we add the subtitle "demon possession" and
promised viewers a hefty portion of erotica. Moreover, without any
deception. Let them see the erotic thriller and do not ask too many
questions.
In reality, the "La Papesse" - a hymn Wiccan magic and paganism
manifest in pure form. In order to make it look as natural as possible,
in the title role Mercier raised the very real Wiccan priestess, the
benefit of dating in the circles he had a lot. If we discard the outer
shell, and to imported history (roughly, like Kastanedovskogo Don Juan),
the entire film is a recreation of the camera (or, if you will, a
dramatization) Sabbath held on the night of Samhain, and a few nights
earlier. Sabbath ending human sacrifice, which should help the Great
Goddess (Isis, Astarte, or, as in the film, Aquarius) incarnate in our
world. Clearly, in our time, human sacrifice is not too approved by
public opinion and the criminal law, but to dream something mesoru
Mercier, no one could deny?
Also, do not forget that all this is just an innocent horror film in
which a student art college Laurent arrives with his wife Aline in a
lonely house somewhere in the Pyrenees right under the All Saints Day.
But not just like that, but in order to devote his wife in the priestess
of Wicca. To do this, it must go through the ritual, more like
bdsm-session, and renounce his former 'I'. With her all the painful
vicissitudes of the ritual to be overcome and Laurent. The magical power
of the High Priestess Zhezial so great that it is able to transmit
mental waves of pain from one person to another, with the result that
men and women experience the same torment. That's just Alina goes
through the ritual against their will - and that is in jeopardy ... Girl
dies: in terms of neo-pagans, stupid and senseless squandering his life
force, in terms of Christians, committing spiritual achievement, in
terms of a normal person, the victim violence. But the ritual to be
completed - and its place is taken by Laurent ...
