Family Matinee: The Red Balloon & White Mane
Family Matinee on Saturday, June 22! Crybaby Matinee on Thursday, June 20 at 11 am.
About THE RED BALLOON
Albert Lamorisse’s exquisite The Red Balloonremains 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. With its glorious palette and allegorical purity, the Academy Award–winning The Red Balloon has enchanted movie lovers, young and old, for generations.
Directed by Albert Lamorisse.
Rated: NR
Runtime: 34 minutes
About WHITE MANE
In the south of France, in a vast plain region called the Camargue, lives White Mane, a magnificent stallion and the leader of a herd of wild horses too proud to let themselves be broken by humans. 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. Long unavailable in the U.S., this extraordinarily shot wonder from Albert Lamorisse, the director of The Red Balloon, is a work of technical sophistication and immense natural beauty. White Mane is presented in a new English translation, faithful to the original French voiceover and dialogue, spoken by Peter Strauss.
