Isn't there some sort of anti-tradition which implies that girls become "possessed" by dybbuks in order to speak their minds freely, without the usual Orthodox restrictions? (I also remember I had to review an Israeli movie about a dybbuk exorcism once...it was playing up here as part of the Jewish Film Festival, but I can't recall the title. Interesting, if crude--in retrospect, it reminds me of some Nigerian blockbusters I've heard described.)
As for "Lucretia", meanwhile--ha! I love that idea. But for me, it'll always be this demented steampunk epic (I hear Empire down); that, or the theme to an HBO miniseries adaptation of Jeff Long's The Descent.;)
