It is a sweet and dreamy film, a romance between boy and balloon (Lacanian readings invited), and I think it pretty well demonstrates everything that Americans find laughable about the French. Allons-y!

I bought it on DVD for my son a couple of years ago, and he really didn't seem to get it. Fast forward (in real life) by two years, and we learn that our son has Asperger's Syndrome -- among other things, Asperger's sufferers have a hard time judging facial expressions. The syndrome is in the category of "non-verbal learning disabilities." So of course my son didn't get it! </p> <p>Today it occurred to me that I could watch it with him and point out what the little boy is feeling and how he expresses his feelings. That might actually be a good learning exercise for my little boy.</p> I was thinking about this film today. I bought it on DVD for my son a couple of years ago, and he really didn’t seem to get it.
