Paradiso 2020 Directed by Jan Vrhovnik
Discover the secret to living the good life in this sun-kissed silhouette of the Calabrian coast
Meet Giovanni Mancusou, a small-town Italian man who lives on Italy's Mediterranean coast. The wisened Calabrian invites the viewer into his sun-washed world of bright orange sun umbrellas, cool blue seas, freshly baked pastries and fresh vegetables. Directed by Jan Vrhovnik, written by Ana Kerin and music score by Oscar-winning Nico Casal, Paradiso is less story and more a poetic thought piece. Dipping into a snapshot of life for an aging man from Italy, whimsical moments like the swatting of a fly are interspersed with provocative thoughts on life that can only come with the wisdom of an older man who has seen it all.
