Plot

A puppeteer in Paris.

Sinekatalog’s take

Hou Hsiao-hsien's gentle Paris film follows a puppeteer, her son and a floating red balloon, in homage to Lamorisse. Fluid and quiet, with Juliette Binoche, it is a delicate, contemplative city poem.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
