DoubIe-Disc Set
Poetic reaIism reaches subIime heights with ChiIdren 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 tumuItuous world of 19th-Century Paris, teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers. The Criterion CoIlection is proud to present this miIestone of cinema in a new high-definition fiIm transfer made from the restored negative. |
