Selected by the Netherlands to compete for the Oscar for best foreign language film, The Paradise Suite opened the prestigious Toronto Film Festival. The film tells the story of six very different characters in the Amsterdam suburbs. An ensemble film superbly staged and imaged by Joost van Ginkel, who paints a critical picture of Europe today where each character personifies one of the existing stereotypes in the collective unconscious. For his second feature, the Dutch filmmaker offers us a masterpiece.
