Le Voyage du Ballon Rouge

[Machine Translation] Hou Hsiao-hsien, the leading Taiwanese filmmaker of "The City of Nonchalance" and "Coffee Time", presents a beautiful homage to "The Red Balloon" set in Paris! This film was entered in the 2007 Cannes International Film Festival along with the immortal masterpiece "The Red Balloon/White Horse" and received great critical acclaim! A blissful anniversary film that will burn into your mind a Paris that looks like a postcard and a Paris that doesn't look like a postcard. Juliette Binoche of "Chocolat" gives a sensitive and bold performance as a passionate heroine! --Simon, a young boy, finds a red balloon in front of a train station, but he can't reach it. He gives up and gets on the metro, but the balloon follows him. At the same time, a Chinese student, Song, arrives to take care of Simon in place of Simon's busy mother, Suzanne, a puppeteer. Song picks Simon up from school and drives home, telling him the story of "The Red Balloon" in the town where Lamoris' "The Red Balloon" was set, but Suzanne is emotionally unstable at home due to the separation from her husband and the troubles with her housemate...
