DVD Reviews of Red Balloon (Ballon Rouge, Le) [Import, All-regions] (Dvd - 1956)

DVD Review: Still Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars

The recent film, "Flight of the Red Balloon" sent me back to watch the 1956 classic to which it was such a loving if obvious "homage." Hands down, he original is the better realized of the two films. Following the strange relationship between a boy and the red balloon that follows him to school, home and church, "The Red Balloon" has lost none of its charm in the intervening half-century. The film is a little scratchy in spots and has lost a few frames to he ravages of time, but still retains its innocence and power. Those of a Christian bent might read a Calvary reference into the end portion of the film. And modern audiences might feel distracted by thoughts of how the film makers achieved their simple effects (out-of frame fishing poles, most likely). But the film is accessible to all who still retain the slightest crumb of childish wonder .

A master work of utter and profound simplicity.

DVD Review: First movie I ever saw in a theater
Summary: 5 Stars

Pirated copy made in Korea, but still well worth the menories. I was very young the first time I saw this movie...and I still remeber the tears....

DVD Review: The Red Ballon
Summary: 1 Stars

A real disappointment. It comes across as a sloppy copy taken off of the screen of an 8mm film copy of the original.

DVD Review: Movie is 10 star this DVD version is 0 star
Summary: 1 Stars

Don't buy this version or take it if it was given to you for free. Wait for the new remastered version by Criterion in April. Lousy print

DVD Review: Don't pass over this gem!
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a film I remembered seeing as a kid in elementary school. The last time I saw this film was on a local UHF station ten years ago before the station was bought out by another company. I don't speak or understand French, but it's very easy to follow along with the action. Though it was sad to see the neighborhood bullies destroying the boy's red ballon, it was wonderful to see the surprise ending (sorry - I can't give the ending away). This is a wonderful family film to watch though it is very short. I highly recommend it!
