Sables (film)
''Sables'' is a 1927 French silent film directed by Dimitri Kirsanoff and starring Colette Darfeuil, Gina Manès and Nadia Sibirskaïa. Richard Abel, in his history of French cinema of this period, positions ''Sables'' firmly in a wave of films made at this time in the exotic locations of North Africa and the French colonies. ''Sables'' was one of a series made by French filmmakers at this time: Toussaint's ''Inch’Allah'', Luitz-Morat's ''Le sang d’Allah'' ("Allah's blood") and Hugon's ''Yasmina''. ''Sables'' fits into this pattern with a melodramatic plot that uses the Tunisian desert as its background adding mystery and the unknown. The cast included the director's wife at the time, Nadia Sibirskaïa, who played a similar role for him in '' Menilmontant''. The cinematographer was Roger Hubert in what was his third feature, subsequently lighting '' Les Visiteurs du Soir'' and ''Les Enfants du Paradis''. Kirsanoff had no illusions about what he had made: he described the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He is known for some poetic silent films which he made independently, especially the medium-length ''Ménilmontant'', but he was less successful with commercial films in the sound era.''Dictionnaire du cinéma français'', d. byJean-Loup Passek. Paris: Larousse, 1987. p. 256. Early life Kirsanoff was born Markus David Sussmanovitch Kaplan on 5 March 1899 in Tartu (then Juryev), Estonia, then Russian Empire. Many of the facts about his early life have been difficult to verify, and different sources have lent support to alternative accounts. It seems that his parents were Lithuanian Jews who had come to Tartu in 1870. After the death of his father in 1919, Kirsanoff le ...

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 ...
