Sorel Carradine and Ashley Woods founded Paradiso Productions, an art house-esque company, to produce, purchase, distribute and market their favorite picks in the liberal arts.
Ashley’s first picks are the below poem written for the great Sorel and L’Age D’Or 1930- a surrealist film about a man and a woman whom are passionately in love with one another, but their attempts to consummate that passion are constantly thwarted- Jane Austen’s Persuasian meets Michel Gondry’s La Science des Reves.
Ode to Sorel
We love to see Sorel as she acts upon stage,
We wonder where her magic is from.
She is light, we can almost imagine her being able to fly,
She can never come down from stage again- it wouldn’t be fair.
We love to see Sorel as she acts upon stage,
We play in her many worlds with her.
We tell all what a joy it is, to be anywhere and everywhere,
We are Wendy and she is our Peter Pan taking us to Neverland.
We love to see Sorel as she acts upon stage,
We wish her acts would never end, so happy we would be.
We guess that we could go to see her again,
and again, and again and again….
