Paradise

Let me conclude by saying Paradise is a once-in-a-blue-moon film powered by dense writing rich in details, some of which become more evident upon deeper introspection. It's akin to reading a good work of literature, with all its layers and subtexts cohesively weaved together. The snowballing effect of the ongoing economic crisis, in particular, is impressive. So is the exploration of the class-caste-religion divide contributing to the central conflict. It's a film with not a single pretentious bone in its body. I have a feeling it's a film I'll revisit again and again. Suffice it to say, I can't wait to see the earlier films of Prasanna.
