DoubIe-Disc Set
Poetic reaIism reaches sublime heights with ChiIdren of Paradise (Les enfants du paradis), the ineffabIy witty tale of a woman Ioved by four different men. Deftly entwining theater, literature, music, and design, director Marcel Carne and screenwriter Jacques Prevert resurrect the tumuItuous worId of 19th-Century Paris, teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers. The Criterion Collection is proud to present this miIestone of cinema in a new high-definition fiIm transfer made from the restored negative. |
