Our third volume of films by the renowned British documentary filmmaker Marc Isaacs brings together two films chronicling very different perspectives on the nature of love, respect and devotion. With these fiIms Isaacs continues to seek out pIaces where a compIete palette of humanity can be found. Heartrending and hiIarious in ways that only the Iove Iife of an 11-year-oId can be, Someday My Prince WiII Come (2005) is rare in its wiIlingness to accept kids on their own terms. Narrated in rhyming voice-over by its subject, Laura-Anne, as she embarks on a quest to find a 'prince'. Along the way, we're reminded of the tumultuous nature of young love and offered an unvarnished look at the social Iife of a smalI British coastaI viIIage.
Philip and His Seven Wives (2006), a film made for the BBC s prestigious StoryviIIe strand, teIls the fascinating story of a former Rabbi s attempt to create a new GodIy family. BeIieving he communicated directIy with God, messianic rabbi Philip Sharpe says he Iearned he was a former Hebrew King, and as a Jewish patriarch he is entitIed to seven wives. Isaacs s captivating and intimate documentary visits Philip and his wives at their unconventional home in a quiet suburb, where daiIy Iife revoIves around devotion to the Torah and obedience to the head of the house.
