Steadily maintaining momentum and a meditative mood without narration or editorialization is itself a feat, but more vitally, Paradise appreciates and shares the curious mysteries in the seemingly banal.

It wouldn't be a stretch to compare Paradise to Alphaville, what with its imagining of the modern as otherworldly, or to imagine it as a capsule made by an outer-space explorer who visits Earth and finds layers of mystery in the mundane.

Long afterwards, Almereyda's images will haunt your perceptions of everyday life, let alone make you squirm at anyone else's vacation movies in comparison.
Rated: 8/10

although this plot was predictable, i enjoyed watching the movie because i like Haneul Kim and Jinhee Ji. i like how Jinhee covers and overlooks Haneul's past. it's love and care. so lovely! :)

Homevideo als Kunstform: ein kontemplatives, meditatives Kino, zusammengesetzt aus kleinen Momenten, die gemeinsam eine transzendentale Alltagspoesie entwickeln sollen. Michael Almereydas Kino war im Grunde schon immer ein einigermaÃen privatistisches, und diese Tendenz findet sich hier aufs ÃuÃerste zugespitzt. Ein (manchmal sehr) schöner Film zwar, aber schlussendlich (noch) selten mehr als die Summe seiner Teile.
