Recent watching: 'Paradise' and 'The Secrets We Keep'

Watched a really interesting German SF movie recently called 'Paradise' about a future in which wealthy people can buy years of someone's life (if they're a dna match of some kind). It starts off with a 'donor scout' pitching selling 5, 10 years of lifetime to an 18-year-old in a refugee camp or some kind of 'slum'. So the donor scout gets radicalized over the course of the film, which is not the interesting part, nor is the desire of his partner to have children. What is interesting is the female characters: the head of the company AEON that does this, the head of the terrorist group that attacks them for it, the wife of the donor scout, who is forced to donate decades to settle a debt, the head of security for the company, for whom being young and strong is part of her job, and the choices THEY make that are more complicated and compelling. Dubbed in English. It was also cool to watch this film and how it portrayed refugees, poverty, right on the heels of watching a dubbed Danish miniseries called The Secrets We Keep, about two wealthy families and their Filipino au pairs, and the au pair system, all through a non-USA-centric lens. Good stuff.
