This Video is a short film entitled 'The Red Balloon' (1956) which centres on a balloon which follows a litle boy around Paris. This in my opinion is the greatest short film I have seen and it is a perfect example of the use of an object in cinema. I would like to say how the director managed to get the balloon to follow the child, but I don't know how he and his crew did it, and to be honest, I don't want to know, it would ruin the magic of this wonderful film.
