Children of Paradise (Les Enfants Du Paradis)
AroView: A resplendent, epic evocation of nineteeth century Paris street theatre that follows the love of mime Jean-Louis Barrault for the highly-strung Arletty over the period of their careers. Justifiably popular with critics and audiences alike, it received a special Cesar award in 1979 for the Best French Film Ever Made.
“A breathtaking study of the relationships between life and theater, mime and tragedy, the real and the imagined, sound and silence. It runs 183 minutes, and it’s worth every one of them.” ~Chicago Reader
