One gift offered by Children of Paradise is a little education about the mime tradition, illumination much needed in our culture where that art form has been reduced to the self-confirming mockery of uninformed idiocy. A bit of reading is a rewarding treat before viewing this important film, at least enough so that the title is understood.
