To me, this movie is perfection.

the audience applauded

Absolutely the worst movie.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Finally some meaningful film on the repertoire! I loved it although I found it a little bit slow, but I still gave it 7 out of 10. Life in reality is slow, so it is natural.So is sex. Natural! That is showing in this film. Everyone needs sex and love! So do fat Austrian women. In Austria they probably would not get any, so they have to travel to Kenya. Kenyan are so poor that it is a way to make some money. It is business! Sex tourism! There is so much of it today all over the world. Sad and funny and heartwarming at the same time.If you want a little bit break from Hollywood, please watch this.

I don't know if I can write 20 lines about this film, but I will try. I did not like this movie. It is not about seeing sex scenes or not very appealing naked fat women that I did not like. Women, as they were portrayed in this move do not exist. I mean by the time you turn 50 you learn to distinguish many things in life, love including. I found it to be a total absurd to portray these women as naive, who were going after young Kenyan men for the "real" love. I do not believe for a second that there are women of 50+ age that are so stupid. If there was a hidden message, I did not get it. Male prostitution? Nothing new here worthy a movie. Sex deprived fat women with low self esteem? Nothing new there either. The scene at the bar where 2 women were talking ( making fun of) a to a bartender was the most disgusting- I would not believe for a second that women can behave as low life punks. There is no story behind this movie.

"Paradise: Love" or "Paradies: Liebe" is Ulrich Seidl's first installment in his "Paradise" trilogy. It premiered at the "Cannes Film Festival" last year, but only recently has been widely available. Even on your first glance at a promotional poster or still of the film, it is pretty clear that the word "paradise" is meant to be sarcastic. The film stars Margarete Tiesel as a middle aged Austrian housewife named Teresa,who lives in an apartment block in Vienna with her overweight, teenage daughter. Teresa is a single mother and longs for a man to satisfy her sexual needs as well as show her love and passion. She and her two friends decide to go on a vacation to Kenya to unwind from the stresses of everyday life. Teresa's friend, Inga has visited Kenya multiple times and is a regular patron of it's wide range of male prostitute's. She convinces Teresa to try out their services and claims that the experience is fantastic. Unlike Inga, Teresa faces a psychological dilemma of whether on not the young men find her attractive. This leads her to backing out of the sex that she is offered, until she meets a man named Munga, played by Peter Kazungu who offers his services for free and only asks for love. Unfortunately, for him love qualifies as financial aid to his relatives. Teresa soon realizes that she is being used and how low she has sunkDirector, Ulrich Seidl seems to have a very bleak and distorted view of the world. "Paradise: Love" is an incredibly depressing examination of the human condition, but at the same time it is painfully honest. Similar to Lars Von Trier, Seidl seems to enjoy exploring the filth hidden inside human beings and seeing how much humiliation a human being can endure. In no way could I possibly say that I enjoyed this film, but it most definitely is good cinema. Despite it being utterly repugnant, it does provide some intricate social commentary not only on prostitution, but on the state of decay in which Africa is currently in. The film forges it's own sick brand of cynical humor, which intentionally does not bring some light to the story, but make it feel even more cringe worthy. On a technical level "Paradise: Love" succeeds at showcasing Kenya's beauty as well as diving into it's dark recesses which is topped off by very long takes and tracking shots, which are always a great addition to a film.I'm not sure I would like to see it again, but nevertheless "Paradise: Love" is a painfully honest example of great social commentary and an examination of Africa's recent decay. Margarete Tiesel gives a great and incredibly brave performance, which is topped off with Ulrich Seidl's fantastically disgusting direction. After seeing this, I'm very keen on seeing the next installment in the series, "Paradise: Faith"

It shows the same thing as men in Thailand but from a mirror perspective.To feel how it is to be a woman seeing how men behave in Thailand was hard to understand and didn't really wanna care. Mostly I think its because one cant relate to it if you don't have attraction to the sex that actually performs the disgusting acts. For example men seeing old men having sex with young girls.This made me care even more how disgusting it really is and easier to relate to it by watching from the "other" side.I think both female and male will learn something by watching this that we aren't so much different or better then the other person. Good and bad is seen in both sexes.This is a great movie - it doesn't hold back. Hold on to your chair... this is gonna be a ride thats gonna make your jaw drop! Worth it...
