Leave your thoughts about Artificial Paradises.
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneThe juxtaposition between the gorgeous natural beauty of a remote beach with the stubborn human need to escape somewhere, no matter what cost, is what really enthralls in the film. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerOlaizola pans across peeling building facades to subtly enhance her portrait of characters crumbling under the weight of self-destructive habits and solitude - a weight that might only be lifted through the selfless compassion of others. |
| New York TimesRachel SaltzWhen a small drama sputters to life at the end, it's too late. You've already been lulled into dreamland. |
| User ReviewGrant SSimple, (mostly) non-actors, real, very well done. It's the rainy season in a small village in Veracruz. A young woman, Luisa, stays in a ramshackle motel near the beach run by an older peasant caretaker who gets by smoking marijuana. Luisa soon uses up the last of her dwindling supply of heroin, and finds a sliver of refuge in the isolated gray as she struggles with both withdrawal and the notion of escape. This is a slow, quiet, and stark visualization of the notions explored by Baudelaire's text of the same title. This film touches on the alienating impacts of substance use outside the normal urbanized and fast-paced deluge of style and pain we find more often in films like 'Trainspotting,' 'Enter the Void,' or 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' Instead, this is neither sheen nor horror, simply the calm and slow gaze of an odd search for just such an artificial paradise amid the relentless simplicity of the third-world. |
