Electrifying energy

Good energy of chaotic but mastered filmmaking, capturing in very intense close-up shots ultra-stressed characters, struggling to tear the object of their desire from life, in a diverse and raw Manhattan offering a rich aesthetic context to the action. You have to see Larry "Ratso" Sloman roaming the streets, talking to the black balloon...

Above this boiling pot, in fertile contrast, floats a haunting music with magical accents, 'Zero the Hero and the Witch's Spell' by Gong. It's obsessive and fascinating.

It could be said of the film that it conveys a dark vision of the human kind, a block of frustration and unhappiness contrasting with the benevolent lightness of a balloon candidly floating in the air. But it is done with such electrifying energy that we can only draw from it more optimism, freshness, will.

penetrating performances

The black balloon is a masterclass in American short films. The performances are standout, remain with you long after the watching the film. Josh & Benn are a rare dynamic family duo unlike the other sibling-teams they break the rules with finesse.
