THE FLIGHT OF THE
RED BALLOON

France – 1 hr 55 min – Hsiao-hsien Hou - with subtitles



Juliet Binoche plays a single mom who must balance her job and a preteen son in this quiet and subtle French film. It explores modern-day Paris as well as the artistry of the 1956 French classic, The Red Balloon, from which this film takes its primary poetic imagery. FLIGHT is graceful, and insightful, and a joy to watch.
