The Edge of Paradise

AudienceAudience: 7.4

Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bails out a rag-tag band of young Mainlanders jailed for vagrancy and invites them to live on his oceanfront land. Soon, waves of hippies, surfers, and troubled Vietnam vets find their way to this clothing-optional, pot-friendly, tree house village at the end of the road on Kauai's North Shore-the ultimate hippie fantasy.

My take

A visually stunning exploration of desire and danger set in an exotic paradise where beauty masks darker truths. The film captures that intoxicating moment when paradise reveals its thorns, leaving you suspended between enchantment and unease.
