This is a good movie.Location and players were chosen appropriately for he subject.Paradise liebe is actually sex paradise for he middle age and fat women.It is a poor village in Kenya near to the beach and hotel.African black boys not only given a sex service to the ladies against money but also harassing them to sell some souvenirs.As for the birthday party scene in the movie;This is an uncompleted scene in my eyes.Teresa's friends make her a birthday surprise and bring her a black boy for a strip Show.All women play the boy's penis after he completely striped naked.Under this circumstances they all should be aroused sexually.Since young boy had enough energy to satisfy all four women,they should not let him go and continue until they are reaching climax.So this scene was not realistic.I would give 8 points but cut 1 for this uncompleted scene and give 7 of 10.

Do not be fooled by the title of this movie or by what you see at the surface during these 2 hours. Despite the music, the noises and the bright colors, this is a pretty depressing film. And "depressing" does refer to almost everybody in here. First of all, we have a main character who is looking for true love, but finds pretty much nothing but scam until she joins in the exploitation at the end. Then there is the African men. Their struggles do not necessarily have to do with emotion, but with hoping for a better life and not being afraid of abusing other people emotionally as a consequence of their poverty. And finally, it's the other Austrian women in here. If they do what they do with these African men, it tells me that their life back at their home must be truly unsatisfying and out of balance."Paradise: Love" is the first film from Ulrich Seidl's "Paradise" trilogy. Obviously lots of irony in that title. The other two films are about religion and adolescence/obesity. But back to this one. Seidl was nominated for the Palme d'Or and won Best Picture at the Austrian film Awards. Lead Actress Margarete Tiesel, who carried this film nicely with how likable yet suffering a character she portrayed, won Best Actress at the same event and was also nominated for a European Film award (that went to Riva). The scene when she talks on her daughter's answering machine is pretty heartbreaking. And even if this is probably my least favorite from the trilogy, it was a good watch. No doubt Seidl is among the finest Austria currently has to offer. And even if you do not care for this film or like it in terms of the action, it is still an interesting watch because it takes us into a culture and society that could not be any more different from the one, in which we live. A film that is painful to watch, yet it's difficult to look away. Well done by Seidl and I certainly recommend it.

This flick is about over the hill, fat, white women from Europe that travel to Africa for romance with young black men. It was very well acted and filmed on location in Kenya. The Austrian made film was a mix of German and English but with enough subtitles to make it quite watchable. It seemed realistic - real people with different agendas all trying to get what they want and without the usual political correctness seen in so many American films. The leading character seemed very believable - typical overconfident middle aged German on holiday, speaking English with German grammar. This film not for everyone - the storyline is not mainstream and hard to relate to if you do not understand the emotional turmoil of aging. It was unusual in that the frequent nudity was of the older and fatter female tourists - it certainly added to the story - but quite unusual for a film.

I don't know if I can write 20 lines about this film, but I will try. I did not like this movie. It is not about seeing sex scenes or not very appealing naked fat women that I did not like. Women, as they were portrayed in this move do not exist. I mean by the time you turn 50 you learn to distinguish many things in life, love including. I found it to be a total absurd to portray these women as naive, who were going after young Kenyan men for the "real" love. I do not believe for a second that there are women of 50+ age that are so stupid. If there was a hidden message, I did not get it. Male prostitution? Nothing new here worthy a movie. Sex deprived fat women with low self esteem? Nothing new there either. The scene at the bar where 2 women were talking ( making fun of) a to a bartender was the most disgusting- I would not believe for a second that women can behave as low life punks. There is no story behind this movie.
