Review of Our Paradise (2011) by Ws W — 26 Mar 2012
Not unlike the proverbial 73 bus, following American Translation , we have another French gay serial killer film and it is a masterpiece in comparison.The execution here is less pretentious and more grounded in melodrama and realism, thus less frustrating to watch, while the acting is certainly better here: less stoic and amateurish.
The influence/ mashup is Bonnie and Clyde and again with NBK and a touch of early Almodovar with plotlines that would be no strangers to soap operas. The meaninglessness of American Translation is even more obvious and striking when view side by side with this film which reflects and comments upon the ageism and materialism some see in our (gay) world.
