After teh seriousness of ceylan's movies , cynicism of adults, The Red Baloon was quite inviting ... a widely acclaimed movie and the poster of kid holding a gorgeous red baloon was enough of an enticement. For starters the baloon itself is gorgeous and a baloon that is obidient what more can you ask for. THe french sure know how to make their movies.
Some comments
"he has got here a tender, humorous drama of the ingenuousness of a child and, indeed, a poignant symbolization of dreams and the cruelty of those who puncture them"
"The film’s ballooning sense of hope and freedom is deflated by a fierce, Squabbling mass. Then, fortunately, Lamorisse’s film floats off, with the breeze of magic-realism, into a feeling of escape and peace, The Red Balloon taking hold of Pascal, lifting him out of this rigid, petty, earthbound life"
