Paradise Lost?

About This Movie

So, you've got 'Paradise Lost?' by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard, which is this intriguing piece that brings Milton's epic into a modern context. It's not your typical narrative film; it's more of an immersive experience set against the unique backdrop of the Barbican. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, reflective of the themes of temptation and fall from grace. The performances are quite abstract, almost ethereal, fitting the fantasy elements while grounding it in this stark urban landscape. The use of practical effects alongside the architecture creates a rich atmosphere. It’s distinct in how it blends the historical with the contemporary, making you ponder the relevance of such an old story in today’s world.

Reimagines Milton's work with a modern twist.Interesting use of location and atmosphere.A blend of abstract storytelling and urban reality.
