Search for the Goddess of Love

About This Movie

So, 'Search for the Goddess of Love' is this intriguing piece from 1971, blending documentary style with a historical exploration that feels pretty unique for its time. The pacing can be a bit slow, but it suits the tone—almost meditative, really. Iris Love's journey, narrated by Walter Schirra, takes viewers through artistic interpretations of love and beauty, which is fascinating, though the production values reflect the era. There’s an earnestness in its presentation that draws you in, making it more than just a standard documentary. It's interesting how it connects with the Smithsonian, giving it that air of authenticity, but still feels personal in a way that’s hard to describe.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, given its limited release and the niche subject matter. Copies can be a challenge to find, especially in good condition, though some collectors appreciate its historical context and connection to the Smithsonian. Interest tends to be higher among those who enjoy 70s documentaries or have a specific interest in themes of love and beauty through art. It's not a mainstream title, but for the right enthusiast, it holds a certain charm.
