The Red Balloon is a nearly wordless 1956 children's film about a young boy (Pascal Lamorisse) who innocently frees a red balloon tied to a lamppost. The vibrantly colored balloon then follows the boy throughout the streets of Paris, seeming genuinely alive, with a playful and mischievous personality. It follows the boy to a Parisian bakery and a street market, even finding time to stop and flirt with a blue balloon being hauled around by a young girl. When the balloon is attacked by a gang of boys with a slingshot, the film takes a melancholy turn. Will the boy be able to save the vulnerable red balloon? This 34-minute film is often read by critics as an allegory of innocence and violence and remains popular with adults and children MORE [EDIT]
