Paradise: Love

Austrian writer and director Ulrich Seidl explores the dark side of paradise with a new trilogy which this film marks the first. A middle aged woman travels to Kenya for vacation and love but finds that love is a business for the young men courting the European "Sugar Mamas." Seidl's look at sex tourism is shocking and provocative which explores again the dark side of human condition with an unflinching eye. Margarete Tiesel stars with a powerful and brave performance. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
