A beautiful feeling of suggestion and hope
11 April 2020
Paraísos Artificiales is a short parenthesis of an hour and something in the lives of two people, Luisa and Salomón. Luisa is fighting with heroin addiction, and takes refuge in a bungalow in a seaside resort outside the summer season, where she befriends Salomón, a local worker. It's a friendship of few words and also of solidarity. The sad and windy landscape, the dark green of the vegetation and the dark grey of the sea envelop the characters in a suggestive and unusual setting, immortalized by a beautiful cinematography. This is a film perhaps too short and too little deep to say anything more, it remains suspended like this little lost paradise and Luisa's days and future, but it leaves you with a beautiful feeling of suggestion and hope.
