| 內容簡介 | Inspired by Albert Lamorisse's classic 1956 Academy Award®-Winning short*, Flight of the Red Balloon is the latest masterwork from director Hou Hsiao Hsien (Three Times, Millennium Mambo). Expanding on the key elements of Lamorisse's short - a young boy, a red balloon and Paris - Hou weaves the tale of a boy, Simon (Simon Iteanu) dealing with the increased fragility of his loving yet preoccupied mother, Suzanne (Academy Award® - Winner Juliette Binoche** of The English Patient, Caché). When a Taiwanese film student, Song (Fang Song), is hired to help care for Simon, a unique extended family is formed - utterly dependent on each other yet lost in separate dreams mirrored by a delicate, shiny red balloon.

2007年, 侯孝賢導演向法國導演拉莫里斯(Albert Lamorisse)1956年拍的 (紅氣球)致敬, 拍成了The Flight of the Red Balloon。與描寫的單純友情不同, 片中的紅氣球躍跳於巴黎的晴空中, 雖然曾跟著小男孩一步步發現巴黎。只是, 小男孩的玩伴已不只紅氣球, 更多的時候忙於按鈕NDS、彈珠機與數碼錄像機之間, 紅氣球只能落寞地飄搖在窗外, 數十載光陰, 全非的豈止周遭建築面貌? [摘錄自:http://www.kubrick.com.hk]
