Les Enfants Du Paradis
''Children of Paradise'' (original French title: ''Les Enfants du Paradis'') is a two-part French romantic drama film by Marcel Carné, produced under war conditions in 1943, 1944, and early 1945 in both Vichy France and Occupied France. Set in the theatrical world of 1830s Paris, it tells the story of a courtesan and four men — a mime, an actor, a criminal and an aristocrat — who love her in entirely different ways. It has received universal critical acclaim. "I would give up all my films to have ''Les Enfants du Paradis''", said ''nouvelle vague'' director François Truffaut. In Truman Capote's ''The Duke in His Domain'' (1957), actor Marlon Brando called it "maybe the best movie ever made." Its original American trailer positioned it as the French answer to ''Gone With the Wind'' (1939), an opinion shared by critic David Shipman. A 1995 vote by 600 French critics and professionals named it the "Best Film Ever". Title As noted by one critic, "in French, 'paradis' is the ...
