Reviews:

There's Wes Bentley and the plastic bag in American Beauty, and then there's this. We'll take the latter. At only 34 minutes, The Red Balloon is unquestionably one of the most gorgeous, transcendent and artful children's films ever. Frenchman Albert Lamorisse helmed the tale of a young boy who follows the titular balloon through a variety of dreamlike circumstances. Nearly wordless and available at a reasonably low price, it's a must-have family film.
