Independent Film Series. Adults only. Refreshments provided. Russian, German, French, and Yidish with English subtitles. 132 minutes.

Olga is a beautiful Russian countess and member of the French Resistance; Jules is a French-Nazi collaborator who is assigned to investigate her case; and Helmut is a handsome, high-ranking, yet naive German SS officer who once fell madly in love with Olga and meets her again when she is shipped to a concentration camp.  While they recount their stories, Paradise drifts between the bloody end of World War II and the gilded, halcyon days when their destinies first crossed.  Victim, bystander, or monster - director Andrei Konchalovsky collapses these identities, offering a new perspective on the Holocaust.  Shot in stunning black and white, the film depicts the morally complex choices that one must make during the darkest of times.  Russian, German, French, and Yidish with English subtitles. 132 minutes.
