Alors que la ressortie salle des Enfants du paradis a été repoussée d’un an en France (octobre 2012), c’est donc les spectateurs du Royaume-Uni qui ont le privilège de découvrir cette restauration splendide depuis le 11 novembre 2011.
Auparavant une séance exceptionnelle a eu lieu le dimanche 16 octobre à 12h à Londres dans le cadre du 55° BFI London Film Festival (12-27 octobre 2011) à la BFI SOUTHBANK (NTF1).

Often featuring on all-time-best lists, Carné and Prévert‘s portrait of the Boulevard du Crime in the early 19th century is a sublime romance, miraculously made during the Nazi Occupation.
Charting the fortunes of various actors, aristocrats, aficionados and villains frequenting Paris’s theatrical district – many wooing the devil-may-care Garance (Arletty) – the rich, wonderfully engrossing tale of professional and personal rivalries, murky intrigue and unrequited passion explores, to brilliantly witty effect, the crucial role played by different kinds of performance in all aspects of everyday life… but most especially in matters of the heart.
Inspired by real events and colourful characters like the mime Baptiste Debureau (Jean-Louis Barrault), the star Frédérick Lemaître (Pierre Brasseur) and the playwright Pierre-François Lacenaire (Marcel Herrand), the film is not merely a masterclass in great acting but a breathtaking achievement on every front, from the superb cinematography and sets (courtesy of the great Trauner) to Carné’s deft elaboration of the sheer genius of Jacques Prévert’s script.
All are enhanced in this glittering new digital restoration. (from press release)
