Synopsis

A not-for-kids look at the Garden of Eden

REVIEW

"Eden" is a succinctly and poignantly well-animated short film that satirizes human insensitivity to the environment and the depletion of resources; it is certainly a "green" film. The animation alerts us to the possible eradication of Nature and Humanity due to humankind's exploitation of nature and the subsequent self-destruction through consumerism. Evoking the biblical reference to the obliteration of Eden by Adam and Eve-the so-called "origin" of human beings-Eden conveys a sense of self-reflection and irony about what paradise actually is.
