Cannes Critics’ Panel Day 3: Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise: Love

Published on

Originally set up to be one film with “three women, three holidays and three loves“, Ulrich Seidl decided to break them apart with Paradise: Love being launched in Cannes, with Paradise: Faith, Paradise: Hope to follow. Scripted by Seidl and producer Veronika Franz this pits Maria Hofstätter in an unflattering, ugly tourist role against non-professional actors known for hustling foreigners, or as they’re commonly known in this film, Sugar-mommies. Seidl was previously at the fest with 2007’s Import/Export which would probably rank a lot higher than what our critics (almost unanimously) think is a 2 star rating type of film. Click to enlarge!
