Film Description

Commissioned by the Musee d'Orsay, this is Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien's tribute to Albert Lamorisse's magical 1956 film, The Red Balloon.

A young boy has to deal with the increasing fragility of his mother, the loving yet preoccupied puppeteer Suzanne (Juliette Binoche). Overwhelmed by the demands of her chaotic existence, Suzanne hires a Taiwanese film student to help care for Simon. With him, a unique extended family is formed, utterly interdependent yet lost in their separate thoughts and dreams; all this is mirrored by a delicate, shiny red balloon that hovers above the Paris streets.
