"Available for the first time on DVD, Albert Lamorisse's exquisite The Red Balloon (1956) remains one of the most beloved children's films of all time. In this deceptively simple, nearly wordless tale, a young boy discovers a stray balloon, which seems to have a mind of its own, on the streets of Paris. The two become inseparable, yet the world's harsh realities finally interfere. In the south of France, in a near-desert region called La Camargue, lives White Mane (1952), a magnificent stallion and the leader of a herd of wild horses. Only Folco, a young fisherman, manages to tame him. A strong friendship grows between the boy and the horse, as the two go looking for the freedom that the world of men won't allow them. The Criterion Collection. In French with English subtitles."
