A real battle

Paradise: Faith (2012)

Directed by Ulrich Seidl this is the second film in his paradise trilogy with this entry staring Maria Hofstatter and Nabil Saleh. A middle aged Austrian nurse spends her time loving Jesus and trying to convert others.

Even for some independent films I found this film slow to get going and when it finally does I am not sure the plot really progresses much. When the protagonists crippled Muslim husband does turn up it certainly makes things more interesting but the conflict never pushes the protagonist to change in my opinion. Of the three films in this trilogy this was my least favourite.


2/5
