A lush fantasia on 19th century theatrical life and a poignant exploration of the pains of love. The combination of Carné's direction and grandness of scope with Prévert's poetic script and sensitivity will make you wonder why so few modern films approach this level of artistry. It's iincredibly beautiful and desperately sad. And, well, I never knew I could love a mime before Jean-Louis Barrault came along: His performance is heartbreaking.
