An Earthly Paradise For The Eyes is an English title for the Czech comedy film Zemský ráj to na pohled, directed by Irena Pavláskové and released in 2009. It portrays the adventures of a dissident family and their friends while under observation by pro-Soviet secret police in Prague between 1968 and 1977, during the country's period of "normalization"—forced revocation of the legislation and customs of the reform period led by Alexander Dubček (1963/1967 – 1968).
