Leave your thoughts about Paraísos artificiales.
| 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. |
