DVD Reviews of Red Balloon (Ballon Rouge, Le) [Import, All-regions] (Dvd - 1956)
DVD Review: Up, Up & Away ~ A Beautiful Tale For A Rainy Day
Summary: 4 Stars
Synopsis: Young French boy discovers a red balloon on the streets of Paris. When he is unable to ride on the street car because the balloon is too large he is forced to walk to his destination. His new acquisition is soon noticed by a group of bullies who desire the balloon for themselves and a chase ensues. Will the boy get away with his balloon intact? What eventually happens is both bittersweet and unexpected. It's truly the stuff from which delightful day dreams are made.
Critique: For me, the charming little '56 French film `The Red Balloon' carries with it fond memories of grammar school. Whenever it was too rainy outside for recess the all the students would be gathered into the cafeteria to watch a short film, or a cartoon or two. Without question the film most requested by the audience was `The Red Balloon.'
It had been at least forty years since my last viewing of this childhood classic when I sat down last week to view this All Region DVD release from Korea. The film still possesses all the childhood wonder as it had fifty years ago and now also serves as a mini-time capsule of Paris in more naïve times. Unfortunately the picture quality is severely lacking and spoils much of the ambience the pictures on the screen so delicately create.
My Rating: Love the film, hate the picture quality; -4 Stars-.
