[TRAILER] Two times: Hou remakes Red Balloon with Juliette Binoche
All right, this is perverse and it better be perversely beautiful: here's the trailer for Hou Hsiao-hsien's French-language remake for the videogame era, of the classic The Red Balloon, starring Juliette Binoche. Plot: A 7-year-old boy has a new friend, a red balloon that follows him across Paris. The trailer's accompanied by a poppy song, as you'd expect with Hou; the images feel vaguely Kieslowskian; and it looks serenely thrilling. Cannes, peut-être? Link or download here.
