Can you make a successful film from a few shots of a red balloon floating over Paris in obvious homage to the classic 1956 film and a bunch of quotidian scenes from the lives of a contemporary French family? Apparently yes.
This meandered along without any sense of dramatic direction but I found at the end that I had come to know and like these folks, felt that my life had been made a little brighter for having gotten to know them. This guy's got a very delicate touch which works. I particularly liked the notion that children take things like magic and the reality of puppetry for granted...an idea that will soon come into play with the development of personal robotics.
An unexpected little treasure.
