I simply want to give my praise along with the rest of this film´s very appreciative audience. Clearly one of Criterion Collection´s most essential releases. With this release by Criterion Collection this sumptuous film looks as fantastic as it did the night it opened in Paris shortly after the liberation. You´ll probably understand why ´Children of Paradise´ has consistently been considered the greatest French film by that country´s film critic community even if your an American and not very sophisticated like me. You don´t need to be at all, seems to me! You needn´t be able to chat anybody up on ´poetic realism´ or know anything about French cinema in general. Don´t bother yourself, unless you want to, because that stuff is interesting. And it should be noted that the making of ´Children of Paradise´ is surely one of the most remarkable stories in film history. It was shot in secrecy during the Nazi occupation of France. Many involved in the production were active in the Resistance and would have been arrested if discovered by the Nazis. How romantic! Exciting background that only adds to one´s appreciation of the film. The story, well, it´s about love and so of course about pain and things that go along with both and it´s beautiful.. And summed up by saying Amazing-. Currently Children of Paradise - Criterion Collection has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Marc Fossard claimed Poetic realism reaches sublime heights with Children of Paradise (Les enfants du paradis), the ineffably witty tale of a woman loved by four different men. Deftly entwining theater, literature, music, and design, director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert resurrect the tumultuous world of 19th-century Paris, teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers. The Criterion Collection is proud to present this milestone of cinema in a new high-definition film transfer made from the restored negative.
