Review of Flight of the Red Balloon (2007) by Andrés Z — 10 Apr 2008
I love Juliet Binoche and she performed well but this movie really MISSED it with me. Grrr...It's supposed to be a Take 2 on the famous 1956 RED BALLOON short film of a boy chasing a red balloon in Paris.
..but the story was slight and it just ended on a song. Ironically, the Taiwanese gal that Juliette hired to be a nanny was named SONG, too. I got a bit out of this...but if 30 film students did a 2nd TAKE on the story of the RED BALLOON.
..there would have been 5 of them that would have produced better stories than this one did. I got something out of it---but I expected much much more. :(.
