Children of Paradise (Les Enfants du Paradis) (1945)
Steven Spielberg Marcel Carné
One of a kind. Sensational. Best not say more until I’ve had more time to
think about it. For now I should like to concur with Terry Gilliam that the
film has a magical quality to the lighting and to its entire atmosphere,
which is truly not seen in any other film before or since. I know because I
have seen every film ever made. One small point. Remember the scene
when Lacenaire tells that other guy to run away to the country, and the
guy backs out of the room with that look of fear. It’s just like in A
Clockwork Orange, when Alex cuts what wasn’t one of Dim’s main
cables, and Pete (other droog) gives that terrified look as he backs out of
the frame. Awesome! If you liked C of P, you should probably definitely
see The Rules of the Game.
