the official video in the Canal + Cinema channel cant be viewed in USA, My country

A fit tribute to a great film director and true humanist.

ALot of male actors were fLags then....but they had to hide it by dating women

It's not tragic. It was a lovely time for her and her fans. Yes, it is sad, it has ended, like all things have to do. Thank You Mary.

I love Terry Gilliam, all his work, and this film. That “drum” at the beginning he talks about is not a drum at all. It is a traditional staff of the stage manager, three blows against the floor, followed by a series more to “call down the gods.” This is a tradition in French theatre, but “the gods” in the English theatre is the upper tier of the theatre where the poor people watched the show…or in France: “paradis”. So there’s so much more to it than he says…but he does hit the nail on the head when he says this is a film of poetry: of word, of gesture, of image, of everything- Look at the images of “the gods” or “paradis” again…they are shot with such love of the people who used to make up the theatre, that is, simple every-day people, the sort that Garance talks of to Baptiste. I realized none of this when I first saw the movie, but that very idea of affection for simple people and their importance reached me, intuitively, poetically, i was a nobody, and it completely changed my life. I rarely go to the theatre now, even though I am an actor, because the theatre excludes the every-day people, charging three figures for tickets, which is antithetical to theatre. Cinema is becoming the same. Watch this movie again and again. It is magic!

used to be one of my 13 all time favorite films. Maybe it still is but now I vacillate between Grand Illusion, The River and this one.

loved his performances. thanks for posting

Excellent video, merci! A wonderful film. Good that the great Mizoguchi is mentioned here, championed by French New Wave directors, deserves to be better known and appreciated in the Anglophone world and elsewhere these days. For me his Sansho Dayu is the peak of cinema, Murnau's Sunrise magnificent too. A pity Boudu, an obvious influence on L'Atalante, especially with Simon in both, isn't much loved nowadays.

Thank you !

One of the last genius of his generation.

Where can I find the whole video of this?

Thank you for this documentary. Veidt was a great actor, and I'm glad to see him remembered. My favorite of his performances in THE SPY IN BLACK.

Buñuel, what I like, apart from the work of course, that, as an artist he had exactly and precisely 0,00000 of bullshit.

Why are there no more French musicals?

WOW, what a handsome man he was...👀🙆🏼‍♀️💕

In the run up to election 2024, we are actually LIVING in this movie.

He bought Riefenstahl’a bs hook line & sinker

that should be me.....

Heart touching speeches, heart touching personality, like his extra ordinary movies...

Nice

Anna Maria, dziękuję za piękne słowa o Twoim ojcu. Prawdopodobnie i tak tego nie przeczytasz, nawet jeśli to napiszę. Dla mnie, nastolatki, która kochała (i nadal kocha) francuskie kino i literaturę, Gérard był symbolem piękna i czystości. Pamiętam Twoje zdjęcia małej blondynki z rodzicami, także po śmierci ojca. Przez ostatnie 50 lat wielokrotnie zastanawiała się: „Co się dzieje z dziećmi Gérarda, Anny i Oliwiera? Jak wygląda ich życie? Więc miło cię widzieć. Czy jesteś jak mama? Myślę, że tak. Uśmiecham się do Ciebie i pozdrawiam. Krystyna z Polski.

Tatsuya Nakadai was the weak link in the movie. He tried so hard to portray a film noir type of Bogart character that he became a ridiculous caricature. If anyone needed direction, it was him.

من عاشق شنیدن صدای کیارستمی هستم و با تمام وجودم آرامش می گیرم. کاش این قدر راحت این جواهر را از دست نمی دادیم 😢

Sorry to ask what is the name of This Movie also what year did it come out?

Masterpiece

Possibly the greatest director ever

A truely captivating man

Μαζι με τον Μαρλον θεωρω οτι ηταν τα πιο τρελα νιατα εκεινξης της εποχης

Really good movie but hard to find. This will help more people see it

hermosoooo

Une fois, j'ai rencontré la grande poétesse (Mariangela Gualtieri) et, à un certain moment, elle a dit : "Le poète ne s'intéresse pas à la durée." Je fais référence à la durée de sa vie.

First of all, I have never seen a single actor be so good at their craft. Second, her comment about how collective thought and intention can change the word was a deeply profound move and a transformative act. Love Sandra Huller

He died the day I was born...3 April 1943.

Thanks

“Is he alive? can he still film?”

after watching this video, I learnt her dialogues 😂

"On va s'taper du poulet pendant que la rts va se taper un sandwich"

‘Children of Paradise’ is such a poor translation. ‘Children of the Gods’ is better. The ‘paradise’ that is referred to in the title is not paradise as we know it in English, but the highest tier in the theatre where the very poorest patrons would sit. The rich would be in the private boxes, the bourgeoisie in the stalls and circle, and in the upper echelons would be the poorest. This is known as ‘the gods’ in English, a reference to both the height of the vantage point and the Greek origins of theatre.

im so in move with this film!!! the nuance in how she changes her voice. just wow
