Seen: Tuesday, April 1, 2008
"I think this is the best movie I've ever seen." This is the only line I wrote in my notebook in the late evening after I returned from seeing Marcel Carne's beautiful Le Enfants du paradis (1945), and I think that statement is still true.
I will always have my personal favorites (e.g. Taxi Driver, City Lights), but Carne's wartime film exists on another level. It's a masterpiece.
