At least forty films have been made about the Living Theatre; it remained to the American underground filmmaker Sheldon Rochlin (previously responsible for the marvellous Vali) to make the 'definitive' film about one of the most famous of their works, Paradise Now, shot in Brussels and at the Berlin Sportpalast. Made on videotape, with expressionist colouring 'injected' by electronic means, this emerges as a hypnotic transmutation of a theatrical event into poetic cinema, capturing the ambiance and frenzy of the original. No documentary record could have done it justice.
Released in 1970, Paradise Now is a documentary film (United States of America). It was directed by Sheldon Rochlin. The cast is led by Diana Van Tosh, Jim Anderson, Franck Hogeboom, Julian Beck and Judith Malina. With a runtime of 1h 45m, the film averages 5.0/10 across 6 TMDB ratings.
