Children of Paradise Restoration Demonstration

Independent U.S. distributors Janus Films have released a new trailer for director Marcel Carné's legendary Les Enfants du paradis a.k.a Children of Paradise (1945). The film recently underwent a beautiful 4K restoration and is already prepared for Blu-ray release in the United Kingdom (street date is May 7th). In the U.S., Children of Paradise is currently available on DVD via the Criterion collection.

Poetic realism reaches sublime heights with Children of Paradise, the ineffably witty tale of a woman loved by four different men. Deftly entwining theater, literature, music, and design, director Marcel Carne and screenwriter Jacques Prevert resurrect the tumultuous world of 19th-Century Paris, teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers.
