Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 10/09/2024 While the acting is good the movie basically three plus hours of dialogue about nothing. Not my cup of tea. See more Dick C 01/05/2024 It's a full of open ends French movie, Enfants Du Paradis, Children of Paradise, 1945... See more @igawel 11/12/2022 watched it given metacritics high rating. found the trailer interesting, where they marketed it as "france's response to "gone with the wind". I did find Arletty a good actress. but admittedly fell asleep during parts 1 and 2. See more Leaburn O 09/11/2022 A regular feature on lists of greatest foreign films, I had to watch this at some point. It's a long yarn but it never feels too overbearing. Very Dickensian in creating colourful and fairly one dimensional characters. They philosophise over love with an originality of prose that only the French romantics seem to be capable of bringing to the subject. Not so much a love triangle as a love hexagon, it's an enjoyable watch if not necessarily something I'll need to repeat watch. See more 03/26/2022 After watching this overly long and tedious movie I absolutely hated it! There are simply far too many issue I have with the overall storyline that promotes and tries to justify infidelity, Promiscuity and everything thats Soulless and wrong. For one the actress this film revolves around was anything but pretty I found her appearance aged and very unattractive . For that point in itself I found it unrealistic and not at all believable how or why 4 men would be pining over her to begin with. Then we have the 2nd Protagonist " The Mime" Where some forms of Art are beautiful and inspiring. Miming in my opinion even at its best is outright creepy. Unless it's Charlie Chaplains work ;mimes or clowns freak me out! All weirdness aside we also had the Sociopaths who love to smile after committing cold blooded murder. Their bizarre cartoon like hairstyles and costumes only added to their freakiness. The only kind and semi normal character was Nathalie who just got taken advantage of and mistreated.What a despicable motion picture ! Excuse me while I sit this one out and dispose of it on a nice Bonfire one Cool evening. All the drinks in the World could not make this movie look pretty. See more Read all reviews
