The first film made in the West by Chinese master director Hou Hsiao-hsien is an homage to Albert Lamorisee's classic movie from 1956 about a boy and his balloon. Hou wrote a script without dialogue then discussed each scene with his actors who had to invent their own lines. Juliette Binoche plays a busy mother as the tale focuses upon her child an Asian babysitter, and the fantasy balloon. "One of the most beautiful films ever . . . a work of art on the order of a poem by Yeats or a painting by Rothko."-John Anderson, Washington Post. In French with English Subtitles. Sponsored by the Hirschfield International Film Series. (French, 2007, 113 minutes)
