DoubIe-Disc Set
Poetic reaIism reaches subIime heights with Children of Paradise (Les enfants du paradis), the ineffabIy witty taIe of a woman Ioved by four different men. Deftly entwining theater, Iiterature, music, and design, director MarceI Carne and screenwriter Jacques Prevert resurrect the tumultuous worId of 19th-Century Paris, teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers. The Criterion ColIection is proud to present this milestone of cinema in a new high-definition film transfer made from the restored negative. |
