Escobar: Paradise Lost (also known as Paradise Lost) is a 2014romantic thriller film, written and directed by Andrea Di Stefano.[2][3]It is the directorial debut of Di Stefano. The film chronicles the life of a surfer, who falls in love while visiting his brother in Colombia and finds out that the girl's uncle is Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.[4]

RADiUS-TWC acquired the North American distribution rights of the film in February 2014[5][6]The film premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2014.[7] and will theatrically release the film in the United States in 2015.[8]

Plot[edit]

Opening in the summer of 1991, young Canadian surfer Nick is called into a cartel's hideout and tasked with committing a murder on the drug lord's behalf. Speeding off on his mission along the dark road and hardly able to keep his breath, Nick is stuck in a conundrum that only becomes clear as it flashes back to 1983. Arriving on the Colombian coast to run a surf camp with his eager brother (Corbet), Nick meets the smarmy Maria (Traisac), and quickly falls for her. The sunny beaches provide a notable visual contrast to the murkier scenes that follow, as Nick gradually realizes the extent of Escobar's power. At social gatherings, Escobar's domineering personality leaves Nick in a confused state about his priorities.[9]

Production[edit]

Pre-production[edit]

Of the storyline, Di Stefano claimed "the idea came from three sentences [I] heard from a police officer about a real-life young Italian fellow who went to Colombia to meet his brother, somehow became close to the Escobar family, and then got in trouble."[10]

Hutcherson served as an executive producer for the film, alongside Andrea Di Stefano, assisting with casting and blocking shots.[11]

Casting[edit]

On December 17, 2012, it was rumoured that Josh Hutcherson was in talks to be cast in the leading role.[12] The next day it was confirmed he was cast as Nick Brady, a 'surfer dude' who visits his brother in Colombia and falls in love with a local woman named Maria only to discover she's the niece of the highly dangerous narcoterrorist.[13] On March 25, 2013, Brady Corbet was cast as Hutcherson's character brother, Dylan Brady.[14]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography was expected to begin in Panama in March 2013.[12][13] Filming was initially expected to last a month and a half,[15] finishing on May 30, 2013. However, it was rumored filming was also conducted during June and July 2013.[citation needed]

Reception[edit]

During its opening in France, the film debuted with a weekend total of $601,554. Its opening weekend in Spain brought in $620,845 and $79,637 in the United Arab Emirates.[1] As of January 4, 2015, the film has grossed $3,562,536 in these three markets.[1]

Critical response[edit]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 60% approval rating based on reviews from 10 critics, with an average score of 5.6/10.[27] Metacritic gives the film a score of 63 out of 100 based on reviews from 5 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[28]

At the Telluride Film Festival, Escobar: Paradise Lost received a generally positive critical response. Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Todd McCarthy called the film "an absorbing and suspenseful drug trade drama" along with citing that "del Toro’s presence, like Brando’s in The Godfather, looms over everything that happens here". McCarthy also stated that "Di Stefano shows some real directorial chops in the film’s central and impressively extended action-suspense sequence". However, "the romantic interplay between Nick and Maria gets a bit tiresome and redundant due to the fact that they’re both so extremely nice and agreeable; Nick’s naivete and goody two-shoes Canadianism (he stresses that he’s not a Yank) also prove wearisome".[29]

Writing for Indiewire, Eric Kohn gave the film a B and praised the performances of del Toro and Hutcherson writing that del Toro "turns Escobar into a subdued terror whose ability to order murders with ease provides the movie with its chief source of dread". While Hutcherson "imbues the character with a believability that transcends the script's limitations". However, Kohn also criticised the film as it "fails to develop the rest of its characters as well as it does for its two central men. The screenplay is similarly marred by formula, lagging whenever it hits certain high melodramatic notes, and reminding us of the stakes in play with mopey, dime-store gravitas".[9]
