I’ve heard about this film for years. It’s popped up on lists here and there, but no one has ever endorsed it enthusiastically to me. In fact, the title always felt haughty and aloof: “Paradise Cinema? Okay, I’ll be the judge of that!”
But here’s the deal…if you like film, if you like art, this is ESSENTIAL viewing. It’s the greatest work of metafilm I’ve ever seen, making me feel like I just saw the first great movie ever. I feel like a more complete person having seen it.
I used to think the title was high-flown pap, but it couldn’t be more accurate.
