Elan, M.

Japanese: エラン,M. - えらん
Elan, M.

... Comprised of two parts, Part 1 "Boulevard de Crimes" and Part 2 "The White Man," the story is set primarily on the Boulevard du Temple (also known as "Boulevard de Crimes") in Paris in the 1840s. Real people such as J.G. Debureau, known as the great founder who elevated pantomime to the level of performing arts, F. Lemaître, the famous Romantic theater actor, and Pierre-François Lasnaire, the notorious poet of crime, are intermingled with fictional characters such as the prostitute Garance and Nathalie, the daughter of the director of the Théâtre de Fenambule, where Debureau was active, to create an eventful tale of a love story that is a mix of fact and fiction. The perfect cast of actors, with Arletty as Garance, Jean-Louis Barrault as Deburau, Pierre Brasseur as Lemaitre, Marcel Hérin as Lasnaire, and Maria Cazares as the troupe's daughter Nathalie, and the superb performances of the actors surrounding them (Louis Salou as the Count, Gaston Modot as the "beggar," Jane Marquand as the landlady of the boarding house, etc.), make this a timeless classic of French cinema.
