Remember the Raven's Forever More? Remember Soap Opera's Dark Shadows! Well, this one woman show is reminiscent of both, as Leslie Cottle, writer, director, and actress in deep throaty tones makes us learn of a Love Forever More! Whether obsessed, possessed, or just suffering from too long an infatuation with Zeig's story of Marie Antoinette, our lovely Bella through the most marvelous and wonderful flashbacks ever made in an independent film takes us from her modern day lifestyle to scenes and memories of the last hours of Marie Antoinette caught in her cell, remembering her favorite times with her beloved soul mate, Axel Fersen.

Leslie is a true romantic, as she captures beautifully the tormented final moments of the French Queen's thoughts just before she must ascend to the gallows.

With flickering lights, romantic memories cherished forevermore, Marie Antoinette consoles herself with the thoughts of her beloved as she relies upon his love for her to carry her to her end...then suddenly, she shifts into a modern day young princess who is nurtured by a friend with a casserole dish to get her started on her morning day...Bella then takes us on her journey of a soul who encounters her own private obsession in a mystical experience, realizing the joy of her life in meeting up with her own "self" in a protected and poignant scene...

For an independent film, this is an enchanting look at a woman who believes in her heart that she is really at "one" with the tragic Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette, in a most interesting and beautiful encounter, counsels our young Bella to release her past and look ahead to a beautiful future...

For those who love mystery, romance, and enchantment, this is a film full of tones of Edgar Allen Poe and Zweig's Marie Antoinette that is very well executed. Leslie Cottle is marvelous portraying multiple roles as both Bella and Marie Antoinette! It is a must see for the seekers of truth, and is a thoughtful, provocative film.

I give it 8 stars, as I believe that Leslie must produce a sequel, and is just beginning a great career!
