 Rating 5   Written on July 26, 2008
   Summary: Perfection
I think this move is just perfection. I love the story line, the music and especially the scenery of 1950s Paris.

   Summary: Charming
"The Red Balloon" is probably the most charming short film ever made. That's not easy to say, of course. But the simple storyline, understated acting, and pathos of "Red Balloon" make it a delight to watch in a way that few films are.

The story concerns a young boy who gets a large red balloon, which has a mind of its own. The balloon follows its new owner around Paris, and will stay when asked to. It even pursues a love interest at one point. Unfortunately, some ruffians want to destroy the balloon, possibly out of jealousy. The balloon is good at evasion, however, and the viewer is kept in suspense. The action culminates in a bittersweet conclusion which I won't reveal here. In just 34 minutes, the viewer actually develops feelings for the balloon and the boy.

Criterion's brand new transfer restores the film to its pristine state; previous releases were very grainy. So buy a copy- you'll be delighted no matter your age!

   Summary: All children must see this film
I remember that I saw this film with my father but I couldn't remember my age.But this film deeply influenced me.So 50 years later I ordered it and watched it like the same excitement when I am a little boy.To all big children I advise this film.
