Seidl Pads out his Humanist/Colonialist Fairytale a bit too Thinly
Right off the bat, the first of Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy – this first one being subtitled Love and the next two Hope and Faith – makes a provocative unveiling with some questionable exploitation. Unrelated to the rest of the film but emotionally logical, Seidl’s reshoots the gleeful bumper car blitz from Bresson’s Mouchette, but with all of the drivers played by mentally handicapped adults. It’s a visceral yet totally isolated event, not at all outside of the world we’ve come to expect from this Austrian auteur. It’s worth mentioning it, though, because what comes in the following two hours is far more ordinary, comprehensible, and politically weighted. Unfortunately, as a two hour 1st act of what was originally intended to be a 5-hour colossus with all of the trilogy’s strands, this colonialist fairytale...
