"The Red Balloon" and it's many inspirations

In praise of  The Red Balloon , t h e a ward winning film,   Le Ballon Rouge   by  Albert Lamorisse. And, this is also in praise for those who bring the beauty of primary colors into our everyday world. Below are a few clips each of which contain different scores inspired by this classic children's film, which I find interesting. But, here's a link to the original classic film,  The Red Balloon , as it was first released which obviously is equally as beautiful. (Grainy, but perhaps my favorite selection) And, finally there's this version: City Breathing: The Red Balloon . (Brooklyn Indie Band) If you have never seen this The Red Balloon , then you must.  It's perhaps the perfect film about love and loss, and having faith in a better tomorrow.
