Children of Paradise 天上人間
Les Enfants du Paradis

Set in 1840s Paris, “Children of Paradise” follows the doomed love between mime Baptiste and actress Garance. Desired by four men—an actor, a thief, a count, and Baptiste—Garance is drawn into scandal and forced into exile. Years later, she reunites briefly with Baptiste, now a celebrated performer, but fate intervenes. Amid carnival chaos, their final parting unfolds as tragedy looms and love slips away. One of French Cinema’s masterpieces and a must-watch.

《天上人間》背景設於十九世紀四十年代之巴黎,講述默劇演員Baptiste與女演員Garance註定沒有結局的愛情。Garance同時被四名男子追求——演員、賊人、伯爵以及Baptiste——卻因捲入醜聞而被迫流亡。多年後,她與已成名的Baptiste短暫重逢,惟命運弄人,情深未竟。於嘉年華喧鬧之中,二人最終分離,愛情在混亂與悲劇中悄然逝去。此片被譽為法國電影史上不朽經典,藝術造詣深厚,情感描寫細膩,堪稱必看之作。
