The Flight of the Red Balloon September 26, 2008

FLICS presents The Flight of The Red Balloon.

“Exquisite and sublime. A gorgeous, graceful film. Ms. Binoche gives one of the best performances of her career.” The New York Sun

Inspired by Albert Lamorisse’s 1956 Academy Award-winning classic, director Hou Hsiao-hsien expands on The Red Balloon’s key elements – a young boy, a red balloon, and Paris – to weave an achingly beautiful tale about the mysteries of familial bonds and the lingering effects of the past. A highlight at the 2007 Cannes, Toronto and New York Film Festivals, the moving film stars Oscar-winner Juliet Binoche. (2007, 115 min.)
