The Children of Paradise

Based on the dialogues by Jacques Prévert

1820. The fates of four men – the great actor Frédérick Lemaître, the mime artist Debureau, the poet-murderer Lacenaire and the Count of Montray – become intertwined around a free-spirited and stunning young woman with a floral name, Garance.

A monumental and universal epic centred on freedom, passion, creativity, power and thwarted love. Eight talented actors bring to life more than twenty colourful characters from the Boulevard du Crime. Jean-Philippe Daguerre, a multiple Molière Award winner, brings Jacques Prévert’s poetic world to life in his production.

For nearly 50 years, the film was shown every Sunday evening at the Le Ranelagh cinema!
