Paraiso (2003)
A raw taste of Cuban life
2 September 2004 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Paraiso gives you a genuine feel for life in Cuba. The heat, the music, the sea, living in a country short of basic supplies, the sex and sexiness, cultural heritage, the dodgy western middle-aged male tourists taking advantage of people's desperation for cash - all are shown as they are.
It is a documentary of sorts, following the members of a band exploring their hopes and lives.
Don't expect something like Buena Vista Social Club - this departs from that movie's rich color to present life for young people far away from the crowds of Havana.
Especially enjoyable is seeing how music, dance and sex are an integral part to life in Cuba.
