Logan D @Greynomad38 Feb 11 After Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden, Lucifer offers Adam a chance to live throughout history. Hidden Gem! No wonder this film reminded me of Son of the White Mare! Directed by the same person! Production began in 1988 and ended with its release in 2011. A labor of love, this epic film mirrors the Lucifer of Paradise Lost, in which the dark angel shows Adam how the future will be so he can have full knowledge of his choice to leave God. It's episodic, with a different art style for each period in time. Also, like Paradise Lost, it's more like poetry than a story. Once I felt they were channeling Shakespeare, philosophical and theatrical.

The movie draws heavily on Christian mythology (e.g., the Biblical origin story) and Western culture (e.g., Renaissance or Ancient Rome) to present mankind's everlasting struggle for transcending mortality and fighting against the decay of cultural achievements. Thus, the presented themes are complex and for a mature audience who look for a narrative that poses these questions in a clever and sometimes stunningly animated way. Due to the movie's troubled production history, the animation quality differs vastly between the various segments, but most are still stunning and/or animated in a clever way.
