My Review-
This was another foreign film to put on my list, and even though it was really short I quite enjoyed it.and even though this movie did not have that much dialogue in the film I was still able to understand what was going on in the film, since most of the movie was a visual story about a boy and his red balloon. This was simple storytellng at its best and did not need dialogue to let us under stand what was happening. It was almost like it was a short film, I liked the music in the film, but I did not like the fact that there was no subtitles for when they did talk during the film. Yes it was a short film, and yes I did enjoy the fact that it was done in away that you felt sorry for the boy at the end of the film, but happy at the same time. Since it is really short with a run time of almost 35 minutes, and you want to see a old foreign film this is one to watch. This is one of those films that time just flies by when you watch it since you are so into the movie, because with the movie it was all about the visuals and not so much the dialogue of the story. This movie was plain and simple. A story about a boy and his red balloon.
