It begins as though it might be 90 minutes of just talking heads and testimonials, but instead what Carl Lindstrom does is take you out of the staged setting of many docs, and into a thrill ride following his wife, artist and creative collaborator, Reine Paradis, as she journeys across the US inserting herself and the audience into her world of magical colors, surreal moments, and stunt-worthy installations, all before the launch and exhibition of her latest collection.

In the building walks a person whos nose had started to consistently run water. All they have to do is carry (with them) a fluid collecting tank. one day 'Rud' walks into the entrance with a highly concentrated expression. No one knew anything! The films shows a bunch of things happening to someone that are un-seeable.
Amazing flick!

This artist is one to look out for! I laughed hysterically, several times and also got a bit emotional. If you are an artist or have even the slightest interest in expressing yourself artistically, you will be sucked in. Life without art is boring.
I love the art AND the artist

This is such a wonderful documentary. By the time it was over, I was in love with Reine Paradis. I think her husband is very cool, too! They are a great team. Her work is bold, bright, surreal, funny, sexy.
I loved watching them location scout, climb over fences, go to all sorts weird places with the props she had designed for the shoots. A true perfectionist, totally committed to getting the shot.
This is a great companion piece to Faces/Places, another art documentary about two charming photographers touring the countryside, although this is in France. Queen of Paradis takes place in the USA.
I love her images. Maybe someday I can afford one.
