## Description

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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Film
*by K***A on December 17, 2012*

Just gorgeous. Loved this movie. The black and white was dazzling, story somewhat predictable, but a pleasure, and the acting fine, although Arletty's acting style seemed identical to her protaginist in "Children of Paradise" (a later Carne film). The young Cuny instantly recognizable (see "la Dolce Vita" and "Satyricon"). I'm so happy that Jean Marais did not get the Gilles character part; I do not like his acting when he has a romantic scene with a woman. He plays to the camera or audience not the woman (see "Beauty and the Beast"). I liked the stark castle interiors and the courtyard shots. The devil quite lively and what a dandy. Amazing what the production crew was able to accomplish. Yes, I also was able to pick the director Resnais out of the extras provided for the banquet scene. Haven't picked out Simone Signoret yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long sought after, now found
*by B***E on March 23, 2014*

The Criterion Collection specializes in classic films that are very hard to find. La Belle Et La Bete was the first one I purchased, and now, Les Visiteur Du Soir, a French film that pre-dated La Belle Et La Bete, and is just as sumptuous and entertaining. It's also harder than hen's teeth to locate before Criterion released it. As a student of the French language, and as a film enthusiast, I can highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantasy of Occupation
*by M***S on July 19, 2013*

The Carne-Prevert pattern of Quai des Brumes translates here into fantasy, reminiscent of La Belle et la Bete, which is not completely successful. It lacks the superb performances of the earlier films, and those of the forthcoming "Les Enfants du Paradis" and its leisurely rhythms fail to engage the attention adequately. But it is an essential element of French twentieth century cinema and of European history of the time.
