When I was in first grade we saw that movie. After it was over, our teacher asked us to draw a picture of our favorite part. I picked the scene where the bullies popped the balloon. As a result, my teacher thought I had a problem, but the truth was I wanted to be different, because I knew everyone else was going to draw the same thing.
One of my favorite foreign language films, actually. (It’s French, for those who don’t know.) Right up there with “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” (also French), “The Seven Samurai” (Japanese), and “Battleship Potemkin” (Russian – also silent, but it’s still a foreign film).

I though there was a child munching clown attached to the end of those?

If the movie was more popular, the entire theater would leave the ground.

Those balloons seem somewhat a whiter shade of pale at the showing of The Red Balloon!!

Lio sticks out like a sore thumb among that crowd. I hope he’s not in a mischievous mood!
