Set in the theater district of early 19th-century Paris, Children of Paradise re-creates a glittering world of backstage life. Garance, a stunning and elusive courtesan, is loved by four men--the mime Debureau, the ambitious actor Lemaitre, the nihilistic villain Lacenaire, and the snobbish aristocrat Monteray. Prevert's screenplay has been called "the finest work...ever composed for the screen" (The Washington Post). Filmed during the Nazi Occupation, this sweeping romantic epic belongs triumphantly among the milestones of cinema.
