Nude, The (DVD) Pre-Order Deadline December 16/25 Release Date January 20/26

A young woman walks the galleries and halls of a museum, admiring and imitating the gestures of the marble sculptures surrounding her. She is a figure art model, who poses nude for finely skilled painters and sculptors. Like a dancer, she exhibits total control over her body. Aware of every muscle and its function, she uses her keen eye and natural instincts to guide her movements, movements that express the mysteries of the human form. Always selective with her assignments, she decides to accept a job with a still photographer, a session that allows her the ability to move more freely than ever before. But accompanying this newfound freedom is a lack of fulfillment, and she misses the intimate connection between artist and model that she feels while working in the traditional arts. Filmed prior to the current global debates on sexual harassment and accountability, THE NUDE is an experimental hybrid documentary by writer-director Alvin Case that sensitively examines the creation of art from the unique perspective of the model, inclusive of all the inherent physical and emotional struggles that this challenging work demands.
