Heading into Genesis I was aware of one thing: it's only 30 minutes long. Beyond this, I was totally clueless to what would follow. What did follow was one of the best short-films I've ever seen. Check that....movies I've ever seen.
Genesis is the story of a man who from unknown reasons lost his wife. Since losing his wife, he's spent countless hours crafting sculptures of his dearly departed. He's now finishing up on another sculpture and this time, he's truly completed his best work to date. He knows it's his best work, and so does the movie-goer. While putting finishing touches on his masterpiece, he notices a red drip come from out of the shoulder of his statue. Inquisitively he studies it for a little bit and decides to get some rest. A scene later you see him sitting in his bed and his nose begins to bleed, he rushes to the sink to clean up, but what you see in the sink, isn't blood anymore, but residue of some type of ashy clay. From this moment on you're taken on a eerily beautiful trip through, love, dedication and death. It's not just these three feeling/aspects the viewer experiences, these are just the ones I related to most. The movie captures many wonderful and sad things pertaining to life and death.
The movie is shot in a gorgeous way; the camera-movement is slow and the camera shots are crisp and graphic. There is zero dialog, but the film thrives with just one silent, talented actor. And I can't forget about the music, it's absolutely perfect, it fits the cinematography 100%. Genesis I believe is more fantasy than horror, but it held my attention firmly as would a horror movie. Simply and flat-out it's one of my favorite movies. 10 outta 10.
