The scene where Imperius removes the arrow from Isabeau is incredibly well-filmed. It would've been easy to just have a shot of the castle while hearing Isabeau scream, but instead they went all-out.
The panicked violins (when we see Phillipe outside) to ratchet up the tension. Then a few seconds later, the rapid-fire cuts from Isabeau screaming, to Phillipe turning his head, to Imperius grimacing, to the wolf howling, to a zoom-in on the sword.
All that work for a sequence that lasts less than 10 seconds. Amazing. -

soooo agree with this! these are part of the truly magic moments that this movie brings. I personally price better the moment when they are in the snow and the transformation allows them for fews secondsthe score, the sun effects, they all contribute to this sense of forces beyond their grasplove it to the bone!
