Paradise: Hope

Paradise Hope German Paradies Hoffnung is a 2013 Austrian drama film directed by Ulrich Seidl, the third in his Paradise trilogy. The film premiered in competition at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.

In a positive review, Steven Boone noted that Seidl is fascinated with the little ways people decorate their lives to reflect the brighter future they are toiling for within a rigid system that both promises that future and continually denies it. He also pointed out that Seidls camera always stands back to let the womens environments and their orientation within them tell their stories in a way that can inspire compassionate recognition. In the New York Times, Stephen Holden observed that the movie contemplates the tyranny of what is nowadays sometimes referred to as body fascism in a society that holds out nearly impossible ideals of beauty and youth.
