    Some people insist on comparing it to Gone with the Wind. It relies more on the story, and it is not as good as the latter in depth and detail. Of course, it has its own unique and attractive features. 190min version, Archives, 2017.01.07

    Marcel Canet's masterpiece, a classic of French poetic realism. The film is more than three hours long, filmed during the Nazi occupation, and tells the story of a polyamorous love affair at a Paris theatre in the 1830s. The gorgeous and vivid boulevards in the film are the grandest set in the history of French cinema. The burlesque, pantomime and drama interspersed, the play within the play, the interaction of breaking the fourth wall, the counterpoint of actors and characters are all memorable. Carnival has an open ending. (9.0/10)

Children of Paradise quotes

  • Baptiste: I still love you. I always have. And you, Garance? No, don't answer. I won't ask for anything. You're here. That's all that matters. Here, alive in my arms, like the first time. No, I ask for nothing. Only - the warmth of your body against my body, this mouth of yours. These eyes of yours.

  • Édouard, Count de Montray: How do you ply your talents these days?

    Pierre-François Lacenaire: Since you ask, I'm putting the finishing touches on something that will cause a sensation.

    Édouard, Count de Montray: A tragedy, no doubt.

    Pierre-François Lacenaire: No, a comedy, a farce. Or a tragedy, if you prefer. It's all the same. There's no difference. Or very little. For example, if a king is deceived, it's a tragedy of infidelity. He's deceived not by his wife...

    Frederick: But by Fate.

    Pierre-François Lacenaire: Yes, Fate. But if it's a poor devil like you or me, Monsieur de Montray - and I use "me" as a figure of speech - it's no longer a tragedy, but mere buffoonery, a sorry tale of cuckolds.
