Marjane Satrapi, known for her bold, creative approach, returns with Paradis Paris, a dramatic comedy featuring an impressive cast including Monica Bellucci, Ben Aldridge, André Dussollier, Rossy de Palma, and Roschdy Zem. After such successes as Persepolis and Radioactive, this time Marjane Satrapi plunges us into the bustling, cosmopolitan streets of Paris, where life and death intertwine in unexpected ways.
Giovanna, a former opera star, finds herself in an absurd situation: mistakenly declared dead, she grows impatient with the lack of tributes from the press. Mike, an intrepid English stuntman, defies death on a daily basis, while Dolorès, despite warnings about the dangers of smoking, decides to make a pact with God on her granddaughter's 15th birthday. Marie-Cerise, a harassed and depressed teenager, has her suicide attempt interrupted when she is kidnapped, turning her captor into an unexpected therapist. Edouard, host of a famous crime show, is brutally confronted with his own mortality.
Paradis Paris will appeal to audiences eager for emotionally rich tales that reflect on the human condition. Fans of films such as Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain and The Grand Budapest Hotel will probably appreciate the way Satrapi interweaves diverse destinies with a touch of dark humor and profound humanity. The film's originality lies in its ability to tackle dark themes with a lightness and grace characteristic of Satrapi's filmography.
Paradis Paris promises to be a poignant and entertaining work, exploring life and death through colorful characters. With an exceptional cast and Marjane Satrapi's unique vision, this film promises to be a lively, philosophical exploration of mortality and human resilience. Join us on June 12 to discover this captivating new chapter from the director of Persepolis.
