Philip And His Seven Wives

During a midlife crisis, British messianic rabbi Philip Sharpe believes he communicated directly with God. Sharpe says he learned he was a Hebrew King, and as a Jewish patriarch he is entitled to seven wives. Filmmaker Marc Isaacs’s captivating and intimate documentary visits Philip and his wives at their unconventional home in a quiet suburb, where daily life revolves around devotion to the Torah and obedience to the head of the house. “A disturbing, intimate study of low-key madness, denial and ritual humiliation” — Financial Times.
