Earlier today, I saw Children of Paradise at a one-time-only showing at Enzian Theater. It's been my favorite film for many years and it still is. What a great statement on the nature of love and loss, friendship and repulsion, evil and acceptance! It's thoroughly romantic without being sappy in the least. And the performances are amazing, especially -- well, especially all of them. I'd seen it several times before, but this is the first time in many years. Some theaters around the country are showing it just now because there's a new, amazing restoration available. I doubt it'll be back in any theater around here any time soon, but a DVD release is scheduled for the fall.
