Ever Since Eden

About This Movie

Ever Since Eden is a fascinating exploration of the tomato's journey, starting from its introduction to Europe by Cortes. The film has this unique documentary feel, almost like a time capsule that captures the essence of early 1940s filmmaking. It’s not just about the fruit; it dives into cultural significance and agricultural practices of the time, which adds layers to its narrative. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the rich history while the visuals, though simple, have a certain charm. It's a glimpse into an era when food was intertwined with identity, making you reflect on how something as common as a tomato has such deep roots in our history.

Ever Since Eden is a rare find for collectors, often overlooked due to its niche subject matter. The film has seen limited distribution on home media, making original prints quite scarce. Enthusiasts appreciate its educational value and the peculiar angle it takes on a common fruit, which contributes to its growing interest among collectors who focus on historical documentaries.
