The Red Balloon (1956)

This movie reminds me of Thanksgiving. A couple of years ago, I think it was my second Thanksgiving in the city, I went to the local repertory theater to watch a double feature of this and White Mane. It was after a morning at the gym and doing DVD yoga at home, and before a fancy uptown dinner with my surrogate NY family (after the first place casually informed us they were out of turkey). It was, like every Thanksgiving I’ve experienced here, the perfect NY day and night.

And then the waiters that were surely rolling on E stole my debit card and went Forever 21 crazy on Black Friday.
