Children of Paradise
''Les Enfants du Paradis'', released as ''Children of Paradise'' in North America, is a 1945 French film directed by Marcel Carné. It was made during the German occupation of France during World War II. Set among the Parisian theatre scene of the 1820s and 30s, it tells the story of a beautiful courtesan, Garance, and the four men who love her in their own ways: a mime artist, an actor, a criminal and an aristocrat.
A three-hour film in two parts, it was described in the original American trailer as the French answer to ''Gone With the Wind'' (1939),〔Original trailer, available on the Criterion Collection DVD edition.〕 an opinion shared by the critic David Shipman.〔David Shipman ''The Story of ther Cinema: Volume 2: From "Citizen Kane to the Present Day'', London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1984, p.644〕 The leading ''nouvelle vague'' director François Truffaut once said: "I would give up all my films to have directed ''Children of Paradise''".〔() Children of Paradise, the work of a poet and a maestro 〕 The film was voted "Best Film Ever" in a poll of 600 French critics and professionals in 1995.

As noted by one critic, "in French, 'paradis' is the colloquial name for the gallery or second balcony in a theater, where common people sat and viewed a play, responding to it honestly and boisterously. The actors played to these gallery gods, hoping to win their favour, the actor himself thus being elevated to an Olympian status."〔(DeWitt Bodeen, ''Les Enfants du Paradis'', filmreference.com )〕 The film contains many shots of the audience hanging over the edge of these balconies (which are similarly known as "the gods" in the British theatre), and screenwriter Jacques Prévert stated that the title "refers to the actors () and the audiences too, the good-natured, working-class audience."〔()〕 In UK English, ''Les Enfants du Paradis'' translates better in context as ''The Children of the Gods'' than as ''The Children of Paradise''.
