Venere. Origine del Mondo

About This Movie

So, 'Venere. Origine del Mondo' is this intriguing short from Eckhart Schmidt's 'Venus' cycle, and it’s kind of a gem that dives into the theme of seduction. The atmosphere is rich with artistic flair, almost dreamlike, which really sets the mood. I appreciate how it plays with the fluidity of water and form—Venus emerging from the water is quite striking. You get a sense of timelessness here, and while the pacing might be slower, it allows you to fully absorb the visuals and the subtlety in her performance. It’s definitely distinct from other shorts, showcasing that unique combination of eroticism and mythology that Schmidt has a knack for.

This short film is part of a bonus feature for the Blu-ray of Schmidt's 'Venus. Venuc.' cycle, making it somewhat of a collectible for fans of his work. While not widely available, it has drawn interest among collectors for its artistic approach and thematic exploration. The scarcity of such niche releases often adds to their allure in collector circles, especially for those who appreciate the unique vision Schmidt brings to his films.
