Product Description

In a time of war, an extraordinary group of women turned a song of hope into a symphony of triumph. From the director of "Driving Miss Daisy" comes a true story of courage, triumph, friendship and strength starring Glenn Close ("Dangerous Liaisons"), Oscar®-Winner Frances McDormand (1996 Best Actress, "Fargo") and Emmy Award Winner Julianna Margulies (TV's "ER"). This compelling drama reveals the heroic actions of a group of women held prisoner by the Japanese during World War ll. These diverse women from different countries, speaking different languages, unite to form a vocal orchestra-creating a life affirming symphony of human voices.

Glenn Close is amazing in this movie as well as other well recognized actresses. This movie is based on real events and while very graphic at times, showing the horrors of war, It also shows the depth of the human spirit and how grace can move people to make decisions that uncover the true soul of humans. All of us have to deal with evil and we choose how to respond. These women were very courageous. This story is filled with scenes many will find disturbing. If you have suffered abuse in your life pass! If war scenes upset you, pass! There are scenes of abuse, torture, attempted rape, fighting and animal abuse. Children, men and women die. However if you are strong enough mentally and often are encouraged by seeing the human spirit prevail through trials, I think you will enjoy this movie as it is historically true and can educate in a way we all need. Hopefully, we can become a society that denies abusing others and warring with others. War is devastating! And this movie holds back no punches but again the human spirit prevails, lifetime relationships and friendships continue on, based on the bonding in these camps. I highly recommend this movie to mature audiences. Be blessed! :)

WWII was a nasty war for women prisoners.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2011

This was a true stoy of women who were in the wrong place at a time when the Japanese had control of many islands in the Pacific. It was a very hard lesson they had to learn in order to stay alive. Another movie was made of this called "Three Came Home" staring Claudette Colbert. Both Claudette and Glenn Close played their parts very well, even though filmed well over 50 or more years apart. It is a sad movie of harsh treatment of both American and British women who were not used to making do with very little food and almost no medical supplies. Those who made it until released had to have been changed forever. The women worked together to do a beautiful vocal performance, more for themselves to keep up their spirits but, even their guards enjoyed. See this movie and it to will leave a lasting impression upon you. There was no "Paradise Road". There were women functioning under a great deal of hardship. Some even had their young children with them when captured. I'm 72 and I remembered seeing "Three Came Home" as a small child with my mom. I like and own both movies but I feel "Paradise Road" showed more truth and bitterness of what it was like.

Am a fan of Glenn Close and Frances Mcdormand.
Excellent portrayals in a story about courage and about the power of music. It's the universal language. IMO
THE movie was intense. It was hard to watch part of the film. But the whole movie is very well done! Superb! I loved the fact that in such horrible conditions, the strong help the weak and ultimately a beautiful women's choir is created.

I bought a recent copy of P.R. to give as a gift. I've owned my copy for years and watched it many times. The cast is brilliant - Glenn Close, Frances McDormand, Cate Blanchett, Pauline Collins and many others. It includes more than one scene of unspeakable cruelty against the women prisoners, even of jealousy and resentment among the prisoners, but they are far outweighed by the closeness, affection, and self-sacrifice which grows among the prisoners. Pauline Collins character, born Daisy/always wanted to be called Margaret, is particularly affecting as are the short poems she writes as graveside eulogies for those who fail to survive. There is even one scene of redemption, for a Japanese soldier, a lover of music. I recommend this film most highly.

Definitely Worth A Watch

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2015

As a big fan of the eighties BBC series 'Tenko', I wasn't sure if I would really appreciate 'Paradise Road'. I suppose I was expecting a condensed and possibly watered down re-telling of much the same story. Although that is true in some respects ('Tenko' had 30 hours to tell its story over 3 series - 'Paradise Road' only gets a couple of hours) I actually enjoyed the movie very much indeed (European import but with English soundtrack). Cynically, I thought I'd identified several of the 'Tenko' characters within the first ten minutes (Adrienne is Marion, Topsy is Rose, Susan is Kate, Mrs Roberts is Sylvia mixed with Mrs Van Meyer) but I was wrong as each of these characters developed in their own ways and became distinct. Of course, you can only learn so much about so many characters in the short time frame available but, in most cases, it was enough and I was satisfied.

The entire cast are very good and not just the 'big names'. The smaller supporting roles are also very well done (the Dutch nun, Jennifer Ehle's Dutch friend, Adrienne's chums from Singapore, the brief but memorable role of Wing) as are the roster of Japanese guards. I thought that I might find the musical element of the movie too 'corny' but it works very well - even the scene between Adrienne and The Snake. On the other hand, the movie is often surprisingly brutal. It is shocking to witness such severe punishment for relatively minor incidents especially when one remembers that these things really did happen - and worse! The only real fault, to my mind, is that (as some others have pointed out) the women really do look too healthy throughout and especially at the end of the movie after three and a half years of deprivation.

I would recommend this movie but if you enjoy this then I would also recommend 'Tenko' which simply has more time to flesh out its cast of characters.

Da vedere, con buona predisposizione d'animo.

Reviewed in Italy on July 21, 2013

Realistico, di ottima fattura, solo lievissimamente edulcorato nel narrare una vicenda assolutamente vera.
Ottime le attrici, sei nella sofferenza del campo di concentramento sia nella parte piu' artistica del canto.
Non si presta ad una serata leggera, sbarazzina, con 4 risate fra amici; ma se siete in vena di qualcosa di piu' forte, reale, commovente e basato su fatti realmente accaduti in oriente nella seconda guerra mondiale può darvi delle belle emozioni e farvi riflettere.
Da sottolineare che non c'è un'attrice sottotono dall'inizio alla fine del film.
Glenn Close (so di sfondare una porta aperta, ma davvero e' così) risulta superlativa: sudata, smagrita, sofferente e, non ultimo, cantante eccellente: un pugno nello stomaco che rimane nella testa anche il giorno successivo.
Grande film: sottostimato, registicamente non troppo americaneggiante, con luci e scenografie al limite della "real TV" .
Da vedere, con un po' di coraggio, per ricordarci che i conflitti sono anche questo e che esiste un cinema che non guarda al botteghino ma alla qualità.
