Michael Almereyda's Paradise is a sketchbook in film, a collection of astonishingly beautiful and moving fragments that recount ten years of travels in the artist's life. An intimate collage of shared moments with friends and strangers, Paradise is both a group portrait and a panoramic view of the world we live in, infused with a sense of mystery, wonderment and sly humour.
Episodes were shot in roughly two dozen cities across nine different countries, and are linked, the artist writes, by "the idea that life is made up of brief paradisiacal moments - moments routinely taken for granted, and always slipping away".
