LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS poster - select for larger image This masterpiece of cinematic story–telling follows the lives of members of a theatrical troupe in 19th–century France.

A tragic tale that centres on the ill–fated love between Baptiste, a theater mime, and Claire Reine, an actress and otherwise woman–about–town who calls herself Garance. And she, in turn, is loved by three other men.

Wonderful, first–rate story written by Jaques Prevert. One of the greatest French films of all time.
