The Paradise of the Naives
Director:
Copel Moscu
The Paradise of the Naives is a documentary film that attempts to reveal the mysterious ways in which art can lead to existential salvation. Incurable diseases, war, physical disabilities and lack of freedom can all be overcome by paying the necessary price. The characters find their own way of salvation through creation and through giving the beauty of their art to an uncaring world with the intention of purifying it.
Preceded by Copel’s A Day Like Any Other, his 1985 short that was banned under communism.
