Several films have explored the premise of a married couple vacationing in a region far from the relentless pace of their urban lives. While they enjoy this temporary moment of happiness and relaxation, their relationship is re-evaluated. The trip becomes a crucible in which their connection is tested, ultimately either strengthening their bond or widening the rift between them. The result depends on their ability to confront the issue front-to-front or let their ego take over their sense of understanding. Veteran Sri Lankan filmmaker Prasanna Vithanage‘s Paradise treads a similar path with a tale of marital drama filled with an immaculately pensive and understated story about the emotional distance between people often created by our unrestricted behavior. It delves into the deep-seated prejudices that hinder our relationships. Unfolding over a few days, it is a philosophical, minimalist work about desolation and loss that is both riveting and profoundly honest.
