Stowaway in the Sky (1960). 1h 25m | Not Rated

“Like its many lengthy tracking shots that hover over Paris and the Parisian countryside, the quality of this film crept up on me. Iu0026#39;m watching Lamorisseu0026#39;s films in the recently released Criterion collection and this is easily my favorite apart from The Red Balloon. Its characters/acting can be a little silly at times, but this just gives the film a sense of whimsy. The beauty on-screen here really captured me. It wasnu0026#39;t until halfway through the film that I started to become aware of how much I was enjoying it – it has a hypnotic quality. I felt like I was in a sidecar on the balloon (how they got some shots blows my mind).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a very nice movie to be enjoyed with kids on a quiet weekend.”
