Wikipedia article
'Fruit of Paradise' is a 1970 Czechoslovak avant-garde drama film directed by Vra Chytilov. It was entered into the 1970 Cannes Film Festival. The film is an adaptation of the Adam and Eve story. This was Chytilov's last film before she was placed on an eight-year ban by the Czechoslovak Government. Fellow Czech screenwriter and costume designer Ester Krumbachov collaborated with Chytilov on the screenplay, costumes, and decor.
Plot
The film is a rather experimental, psychedelic, stylish, Arthouse retelling of the biblical story of Adam and Eve which then progresses into a downright surreal allegorical depiction of the complete loss of innocence.
