Review of Fruit of Paradise (1970) by Martin T — 23 Nov 2009
A modern retelling of the Garden of Eden. Vera Chytilová again utilizes very unusual and interesting techniques, and veers away from a straightforward narrative, but this one doesn't have the same fun, freewheeling spirit as Daisies.
Instead it gets bogged down with almost Maya Deren-esque imagery, and the threads it follows are rarely as engaging as they could be. I liked some parts (especially the wild intro) but it needs more oomph.
