The Rapture

Directed by Michael Tolkin

A bizarre directorial début by the author of THE PLAYER, THE RAPTURE follows the quest of one woman for fulfilment – from sex to God. Sharon sleeps around until she meets her husband and settles down to a moral life. But tragedy leads her to seek answers and she turns to a Born-again sect to provide them. A satiric exposé of America’s obsession with weird religions or a heartfelt portrait of one woman’s desperate search for some sort of meaning? Either way, enjoy this completely mad, early Easter treat.
