This ambitious French film turns out to be a strange mixture of the beautiful, the esoteric and the downright dull. Some startling flashes of inspired mimicry and fresh Gallic humor are wedded to the not un-Hollywoodian concept of the femme fatale who, willy-nilly in this instance, leads men to their ruin in an uneven performance of writing and direction.

Children of Paradise is about as close to perfection as a movie can get. A fascinating story, brilliant performances, love and loss, and now, a new high quality print. If you've never seen it, do so the first chance you get.
