seem , here is a promise from me to you : There is no more better way of life to spend 34 second of your clock time tonight than sitting down and ( re)watching The Red Balloon .
The featurette begins with a male child who finds this new floating booster on the way to school one day , then abide by their exploration of Paris for the good afternoon . From the moment he scales a lamppost to fetch it — freeing it from a knot at the top then resourcefully stay put the train between his teeth to get back down again — it ’s clear these two are go to be buddies .

When it was released in 1956 it won a Palme D’Or at Cannes and an Oscar for Best Writing ( Original Screenplay)—an telling feat considering the whole matter is nearly negotiation - gratuitous . It ’s attractively shot and so so so so so wonderfully , refreshingly bare . Plus it ’s bewitching to see how much personality director Albert Lamorisse was able-bodied to tincture in the non-living headliner ; with a few tower of some inconspicuous wire rigging the violent balloon is gift a life of its own , minus any form of wacky anthropomorphizing or cutesy character ontogenesis .
