A work of poetry and dark humor, LES VISITEURS DU SOIR is a lyrical medieval fantasy from the great French director Marcel Carné (Children of Paradise). Two strangers (Children of Paradise's Arletty and La dolce vita's Alain Cuny), dressed as minstrels, arrive at a castle in advance of court festivities-and it is revealed that they are actually emissaries of the devil himself, dispatched to spread heartbreak and suffering. Their plans, however, are thwarted by an unexpected intrusion: human love. Often interpreted as an allegory for the Nazi occupation of France, during which it was made, LES VISITEURS DU SOIR-wittily written by Jacques Prévert (Children of Paradise) and Pierre Laroche (Lumière d'été), and elegantly designed by Alexandre Trauner (Port of Shadows) and shot by Roger Hubert (Children of Paradise)-is a moving and whimsical tale of love conquering all.
Not Rated.
