Review of Flight of the Red Balloon (2007) by Vinnie G — 06 Jan 2013
Adored this film as it began to gain a little momentum, but with 2 plot points unresolved, weirdly, it just stops and kinda leaves you hanging.
Life is set in Paris and it is portrayed as both beautiful and chaotic. You're led through the wear and tear of a single mother's life with her son - including the joy and the mundane - and her attempts to balance work with the stresses of a crappy neighbour - who is also her tenant - and supporting her new employee, Song, who's just been hired as a Nanny to the young boy.
Binoche is just wonderful and supporting actors (non-actors I assume) work well with what seems to be a largely improvised script.
