Paradise: Love (2012)
Directed by Ulrich
Seidl this film stars Margarethe Tiesel, Peter Kazungu, Inge Maux and
Dunja Sowinetz. A middle aged Austrian woman travels to Kenya as a
sex tourist.
This is a fairly
unique film in that you rarely see the topic of women that pay for
sex covered and it does a good job of exploring the topic. I found
the film very reminiscent of Our Trip to Africa (1966) with
interesting comparisons and contrasts in what has changed in the way
Europeans exploit Africa. There are good performances from the cast,
especially Tiesel who really captures the woman naively looking for
love.
4/5
