      Audience Member 'Les Enfants du Marais' isn't a filmmaker's dream, it's an appeal to the heart, a human work which calls our emotions, a sensitive work made by grown up people - a poetry of life, an odd to simplicity and friendship, and above all a celebration of the human spirit and heart. It's a beautiful film, and a true one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member La liberté. Les enfants du marais n'est pas un grand film cinématographiquement parlant. Mais une fable belle et presque essentielle sur la liberté, l'amitié les valeurs essentielles au bonheur. Un film beau et important. À voir et revoir quand mai pointe son nez.
