His trilogy of films, \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eParadise,\u003c\/I\u003e has been celebrated at international film festivals such as Cannes and Venice, but it has also been the subject of controversial debate. In breathtaking tableaux, Seidl tells a three-part tale of \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eLove, Faith,\u003c\/I\u003e and \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eHope,\u003c\/I\u003e about three women in a family, each on a vacation by herself. One is a sex tourist in Kenya, another is a missionary Catholic on the periphery of Vienna, and the third is a teenager at a diet camp.\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003e Three films, three women, three stories of longing. Seidl’s view of the protagonists’ bodies has been compared to Lucian Freud’s perspective of his models. In fact, the minimal visual shots Seidl employs—composed and aestheticized down to the last detail—stand in strong contrast to the intimate scenes.\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Courier New'\"\u003e The most memorable stills from the trilogy are presented in large format in this volume.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (signed) (978-6-70573559-1)","offer_id":41693634101425,"sku":"9786705735591","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-3559-9)","offer_id":41693634068657,"sku":"9783775735599","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775735599_17d879a6-5c50-4904-a671-83a07cd2a59a.jpg?v=1744143747","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17316-ulrich-seidl","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
