Paraíso

The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival presented Leon Ichaso's Paraíso, a brilliant stunning film shot with a crew of only ten for the astounding low budget of $30,000. It's a provocative Cuban exile drama framed around the story of Ivan, newly arrived by raft and his adjustment to life in Miami's exile community. Always controversial, Ichaso's Ivan has a dark side, caused by years of hustling to survive in Cuba's inhumane, repressive society, the film is brutally unsparing in its portrait of the Revolution's "New Man." Highly recommended.
