In Jewish hekhalot mysticism, one who ascends to the heavenly temple may see something which looks like - but is not - water.

Further investigation finds that the water vision continues an ancient tradition of exegesis of Ezekiel 1 as an account of a heavenly ascent, in which "water" signifies materiality, femininity and impurity. The wide and profound influence of these ideas is encountered in a variety of Jewish, Christian and Gnostic sources....

This much needed work offers not only comparative cultural perspectives on French text and film but also a better understanding of the poetics of image and ideology....
