Îïèñàíèå: Very loosely based on Albert Lamorisse`s 1956 much beloved flight of fancy in cinema history, Le Ballon Rouge, Hou Hsiao-hsien`s first film made outside of Asia is the next wonder from the Taiwanese master. A mysterious red balloon affectionately follows seven-year-old Simon around Paris. His mother, Suzanne, is a puppeteer who uses her vocal talents to bring life to the shows she writes. Completely absorbed in her new show, Suzanne becomes overwhelmed by the complications of modern daily life, and decides to hire Song Fang, a Taiwanese film student in Paris making her own remake for the Lamorisse film, to help her care for Simon. The movie is commissioned by Paris` Musée d`Orsay as the first of a series of films to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
