I went through a lot of trouble to order 'Le Grand Chemin' the DVD, and I'm wondering if the image is at least as clear as the VHS version....I can't view it until I get a region two player. But I do have 'Paradise,' and, although this newer counterpart starring Melanie Griffith is entertaining, it cannot compare with 'Le Grand Chemin' in any way. Martine steals the show (literally), and I think a sequel would have been in order, with the boy revisiting the countryside to reunite with the girl. The picturesque countryside, beautifully filmed, reminds me in a way of my own childhood, which I think this film conveys superbly.
