		And then in 'Les enfants du paradis ' Arletty plays Garance, who attracts each of the male protagonists in the film to her but, to me, she is so remote and elusive she is asexual.
		In 'Les visiteurs du soir' I think they are more classic, Dominique seems to be cut off from her feelings and is able to move through the world (like a man), whereas Anne, who is able to love is turned into stone.
		With 'Les visiteur du soir' Dominique has been in the company of the Devil since she was very young and once again it seems like a relationship born out of expediency and a type of protection to her.

		Roud added that Les Enfants was to 30s French cinema what Gone With The Wind was to American cinema: a fully realised expression of the period, and also the death-knell for a certain kind of cinema some people wish we still had now.
		Les Enfants du Paradis was inspired by the popular theatre of the 19th century, and translated into an epic cinematic romance that will probably never be equalled for both substance and style.
		She was jailed as a collaborator when Les Enfants opened, largely because she had had an affair with a Luftwaffe officer during the war.

	Notes on "Les Enfants du Paradis"
		Our first tantalising sight of Garance is on the Boulevard du Crime in a side show where she symbolises nothing less than truth (sitting naked in a revolving barrel of water, staring into a hand mirror).
		Use of mirrors is made later in the film to suggest almost a mask, a "face" which one chooses to present, but here it is tempting to suggest that truth may be found by looking within oneself, or, indeed, that truth is whatever you happen to believe, or choose to see.
		If you are interested in “Les Enfants du Paradis”, you may also be interested in my page on ”Kean”, a play by Jean-Paul Sartre which looks at acting and its place in society.

	Les Enfants du paradis / Children of Paradise / 1945 / film review / Marcel Carne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The opening scenes on the Boulevard du Temple, with a magnificent reconstruction of early 19th Century Paris, filled with merchants, street entertainers and passers by, is quite stunning.
		One of the lead actors, Robert Le Vigan (who played Jericho), turned out to be a Nazi collaborator, who was forced to flee after the Liberation in 1944, to be replaced by Pierre Renoir.
		Whatever the historical significance of Les Enfants du paradis, it is undeniably a great film and one which will continue to delight future generations for many years to come.

		These films were part of the French Poetic movement which was important from the mid 1930’s onwards when the larger studios such as Pathe and Gaumont lost their place in the market giving a greater freedom to the smaller independent producers.
		This ties in with Le Fabuleux Destin D’Amelie because he is using elements within that style to demonstrate Amelie within a modern Paris.
		Amelie is “Le Cancre” and becomes le Cancre whilst listening to news of Princess Diana’s death on France 2 whilst in the bathroom.

	'Les Enfants Du Paradis' by from The Portsmouth Chorus.
		A film which regularly charts high in critics' polls of the best films of all time, director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert's masterpiece Les Enfants du Paradis is as solid a landmark in French film history as the Eiffel Tower is on the Parisian landscape.
		Thematically, Les Enfant du Paradis gnaws over typically French cinematic preoccupations: illusion and reality, the nature of performance, the indomitable spirit of the proletariat and so on, all made the more charged and poignant when you know the film was shot during the Nazi occupation.
		Criterion come up trumps again with a superlative transfer -although some irreprable damage to the original print means there is the occasional jump cut and piece of dirt on the film- and a whole host of extras which actually add to the enjoyment of the film.

		Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise, 1945) is sheer spectacle, Marcel Carne's three-hour masterpiece about a sensitive mime (Jean-Louis Barrault) in a nineteenth-century theatrical troupe whose unrequited love for a free-spirited beauty (Arletty) becomes a lifelong obsession, despite his worldly success.
		Le Corbeau (The Raven, 1943) is an early work by Henri-Georges Clouzot, who would later direct such classic thrillers as The Wages of Fear and Les Diaboliques.
		Slyly, Clouzot injects a tale of rising suspicion and anger in a French village with the kind of social and political content the Resistance might have cheered, but in some quarters it was interpreted as anti-French propaganda.

	dOc DVD Review: Children of Paradise (Les Enfants du paradis) (1945)
		Les Enfants du paradis opens its first of many curtains on a tightrope walker—a funambulist—entertaining a small group of onlookers, a tidepool in the vast currents of the Boulevard of Crime.
		She paints Garance ("Comme le fleur") with a Mona Lisa smile that barely parts when she speaks, and she seems to float through the film, like "Truth: from the neck up." While not particularly expressive, she is believably who she portrays: an unfettered woman with nothing to lose.
		The genius of Les Enfants du paradis is in the recurring themes, the poetic yet economical dialogue by Prévert and the unique mise-en-scénes of Carné.

	In Focus
		So first the Middle Ages (Les Visiteurs du soir, aka The Devil’s Envoys, 1942), and then the 19th century (Les Enfants du paradis) attracted Carné and Prévert as contexts in which hope and beauty could be stylized.
		None disputed the position of Les Enfants du paradis as one of the monuments of their national cinema.
		Hôtel du Nord, with its pithy dialogue and glorious performances by Louis Jouvet and Arletty, remains a staple of French TV programming.

	\|the unofficial james faulkner website\|press
		Marcel Carne's great 1945 film Les Enfants du Paradis is a hymn to actors, to the luxuriant power of art, and to France itself, whose spirit -- the film was made during the German Occupation -- remains as unvanquished as that of the simultaneously pervasive and elusive Garance, the courtesan who best embodies it.
		Actually, one thing Les Enfants does not readily betray is a sense of conspicuous consumption, since the evening looks more undernourished the longer it goes on.
		And so it continues with a cast notably lacking the gift referred to by Lacenaire in act two for "making people's hearts beat faster." That gift, of course, is why Les Enfants on film remains so transporting, even as its newest stage incarnation is instead dispiriting.

	Electric Shadows - Enfants du Paradis, Les
		Directed by Marcel Carne and written by the poet, Jacques Prevert, this is one of the masterpieces of what film historians have called "poetic realism", the poetically heightened and intensified sense of the real world.
		Interestingly, Barrault was taught the art of mime by Etienne Decroux who appears in LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS playing Baptiste's father and mentor, Anselme.
		Produced during the wartime German Occupation of France, LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS has traditionally been scrutinized for double messages and allegory.

	EUFS: Les Enfants du Paradis
		Set in 1840s Paris and centred around the Funambules Theatre on the Boulevard du Crime, the story follows the fortunes of four men whose lives are interwoven by their love for the same woman, the beautiful actress Garance (Arletty).
		Of some 350 films made, Les Enfants was the most ambitious, eluding the invaders in its subtle premise that drama could flourish only where men are free.
		(Less happy, that of Robert Le Vigan, the original old clothes man, who disappeared when the Nazis did, to be replaced by Pierre Renoir.) Carné's handling of principals and crowds is masterly, and, like Mayo's costumes, the music, acting and photography are exquisite.

		Accolades have greeted Les Enfants du Paradis since its theatrical release in 1946, and Criterion's DVD edition should receive similar encomia.
		Disc one also offers an introduction by Terry Gilliam (he says the film is about smiles and light) and a demonstration of the film's restoration (which admits to some flaws in the print being unfixable).
		Accompanying the two-disc set are a booklet with an interesting essay by Peter Cowie, biographies of the film's major players, and a terrific 1990 interview between Stonehill and Carné.

	Les Enfants du Paradis
		To get around the Vichy edict that a film could not exceed 90 minutes, Les Enfants du Paradis was constructed in two parts totaling three hours.
		The actor Robert Le Vigan (who originally played the part of the informer-thief Jericho) was sentenced to death for collaboration by the Resistance, and fled the country.
		Set in the teeming theatre district of 1840s Paris (the "boulevard du crime"), the paradise of the film's title is a reference to "the gods", the highest, cheapest seats in the theatre, occupied by the poorest of the poor.

	Portes de la nuit, Les (1946) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Whilst it is true that scriptwriter Jacques Prevert's poem, Les Feuilles Mortes, set to music most memorably by long-time collaborator Joseph Kosma, IS heard (though not to completion) in the film it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a 'score'.
		As it happens a second Prevert poem, Les Enfants qui s'aiment (Children Who Love) is also heard in snatches in this great movie though ironically neither is sung by Yves Montand, who went on to 'own' Les Feuilles Mortes and also recorded Les Enfants qui s'aiment unforgettably on his 'Montand Chante Prevert' album.
		It started with one strike on it; Jean Gabin and Marlene Dietrich, for whom the two leading roles had been tailored by Prevert, ankled shortly before shooting commenced so Carne tapped the inexperienced (in acting) Montand and the justifiably soon forgetten Nathalie Nattier as deps.
