Paradis perdu (2012)
"Is it enough just to be in the present to be part of the present?"
"Is it enough just to be in the present to be part of the present?"
This is the lesson sixteen year old Lucie will learn throughout the movie, untying herself from her father Hugo who is strictly bound to soil, disciplined man, cast aside away from civilization, decorating his life with natural beauty of French countyside. Hugo is a strong but broken man recently cheated and left by her wife.
Ève Deboise enjoys the comfort of an isolated set, and plot as well, like a drama piece ( probably this was put on theatre before), focusing on characters, getting a real help from mastery of Olivier Rabourdin (Hugo) and Florence Thomassin (Sonia), especially Olivier Rabourdin's acting is way above this movie's level.
Pauline Etienne (Lucie) establishes a warm natural and fluent aura, well contributes the intimacy of the story.
The director and producer being ladies, they put on stage a womanly perspective of existence and I believe ask sharp questions to a certain understanding of life.
A kinfd of movie always worth to see.
