★★★ · Oh hey, it's Breaking The Waves all over again. · Spuzz · 2014-04-06

Final reel of this film (I think 3 of 5 reels are included here) has Egypt finally getting it on with the pastor, just when the bishop arrives. Oops! Horrified, she runs off and meets her other suitor, a captain, who is ready to take her to sea to get married. Unfortunately, a major storm is a brewin' and soon their ship is sunk! Oh no! Will she survive? Quite the suspenseful ending, not really wild about the whole film actually.
