In Fritz Lang's only movie made in France, a good-for-nothing carousel
operator, Liliom (Charles Boyer) wreaks havoc on his own life and those
the women who love him. When he falls for beautiful and innocent Julie,
Liliom trades in his carnival life and the unrequited love of carnival
owner Madame Muscat for domestic bliss. But later, when he botches a
robbery attempt, and cannot face his pregnant wife, Julie, he attempts
to kill himself. But even that fails. Liliom is refused by the strict
strict gatekeepers of Heaven. The gatekeepers show Liliom films of his
misdeeds, including footage of him beating Julie, and Liliom is sent
straight to purgatory. There he awaits the sixteenth birthday of his
daughter, for which the angels have chosen to give him a second chance
to make good. The mixture of gritty realism and expressionist fantasy in
LILIOM make this sentimental drama one of Lang's most moving films.
Filled with humor and pathos, the settings of both the carnival and of
heaven are deftly evoked. In addition, the humor that Lang evokes when
the bureaucracy of the police is juxtaposed with that of heaven, creates
a startling comic effect while simultaneously making a powerful social
commentary.

The film elements used for the DVD weren't so good. They're very low
resolution, with too much contrast.
The film is in French, with English subtitles in SRT format.
