The Red Balloon

 Author/ Director : Albert Lamorisse

Watched this featurette, thanks to the elaborate description in Paris By the Book. The film follows a boy Pascal, who on his way to school finds a Red Balloon , which surprisingly has a mind of it's own. It follows him according to his own will. The challenges which Pascal and this magic balloon face forms the rest of this lovely featurette, just 35 min long. This was shot in Paris, few years after the world war II, so it shows Paris in a different light, the narrow alleys and the battered buildings . A beautiful film , children will love it !
