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.

Set in an isolated coastal village, Someday My Prince Will Come (2005) is narrated in rhyming couplets by 11-yearold Laura-Anne as she embarks on a quest to find her ‘prince’. Rare in its acceptance of kids on their own terms and both heartrending and hilarious in its sincerity.
Philip and His Seven Wives (2006) a film made for the BBC’s prestigious Storyville strand, tells the intriguing story of a former messianic rabbi who believes that he communicates directly with God. Isaacs’ captivating and intimate documentary is a portrait of this unconventional family whose lives revolve around faith and obedience to the head of the household.
With insight, compassion and humour, these films take you inside the extraordinary worlds of the everyday.

Second Run are delighted to present these two important documentary works on home video for the first time - and which include all new and exclusive follow-up pieces on both films, plus a brand new filmed interview with filmmaker Marc Isaacs.

“Isaacs has an astounding gift for getting people to open up to him and he uses film the way a skilled artist uses paint. The result is beautiful, heartbreaking and profoundly humane”
The Times Online

“[Isaacs] has quietly built a body of work that puts him amongst the most empathetic documentary observers we have of lives often overlooked” Time Out

"Filmmaker Marc Isaacs is one of Britain’s most experimental and revered documentary makers... making films that shine an intimate and revealing light on modern Britain. From All White
in Barking to Outside the Court, he will let subjects come to him – creating an often claustrophobic and intimate atmosphere where real people’s voices and stories are in sharper focus than often is the case" BBC online
