In the Garden of Eden, a nude Adam partakes of the forbiddeen
fruit because he cannot bear to live without Eve, his love. Cast
out of Paradise by a wrathful God, the pair looks to beautiful
Lucifer to fulfill his promise and grant them the sacred
knowledge of the trees. So begins THE ANNUNCIATION, Andras
Jeles' stunning, epic account of the dark history of humanity as
portrayed entirely by children between 8 and 12 years of age.
Photographed against the breathtaking fields, forest, steppes and
shores of southern Hungary, THE ANNUNCIATION sends
twelve-year-old Adam on an existential oddysey through time and
space. He becomes a general in Athens, a crusader in Byzantium,
Danton during the French Revolution, and a witness to plague and
poverty in London. As guided by a deceptively sweet, ultimately
contemptuous Lucifer, Adam confronts an endless procession of
rapists and concubines, betrayal and savagery, mindless cruelty
and fanaticism.
Superbly photographyed, colorfully costumed and stunningly acted,
THE ANNUNCIATION makes Pasolini-like use of its youthful cast to
illustrate the horror and irrationality of our times.

There is plenty of child nudity (front and rear views) in this movie. Most of it is during the first part of the move and towards the end. In addition you get plenty of shots of eve's chest and there is a very intense scene where she and Adam share biting and chewing the same piece of apple. The choice for Adam and Eve were right on and their bodies are nice to look at and they can act as well. As a matter of fact, many of the child actors put on great performances.

As with all gatekeeper reviews, the focus is on nudity, sex and violence. These are areas which no one else seems to comment on.

It was bad (Rating: 1.00)
Review : It was bad, I was lost the whole time.
