The Red Balloon/White Mane, The Haunting

A few more films seen while I still have no net.

The Red Balloon/White Mane
dir. Albert Lamorisse
1956 & 1953

The Red Balloon was a fantastic short about a boy and his red balloon wandering through Paris. A clear inspiration to those Sony Bravia adverts.



White Mane was a rather overlong piece about a wild horse and his sailor-boy friend in France's 'Wild West', the Camargue.

The Haunting
dir. Robert Wise
1963

Wonderful, classic haunted house story with minimum special effects and maximum imagination.
