Encyclopedia > Les Enfants du Paradis
This article is about Children of Paradise, the film. For the psychedelic trance group, see Children of Paradise (band)

Les Enfants du Paradis (known as Children of Paradise in its English release) is a 1945 film by French director Marcel Carne. Made during the Nazi occupation, the film is set in Paris in 1828. The film was voted "Best French Film of the Century" in a poll of 600 French critics and professionals in the late 1990s.


The three hour film was extremely difficult to make due to theatrical constraints during the occupation. Noted critic Pauline Kael wrote "that the starving extras made away with some of the banquets before they could be photographed".

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.
