If you loved Anthropoid, try Balloon
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in History / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Anthropoid, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Balloon is
East Berlin, 1979. A child drops a toy rubber duck in a puddle. Two families stitch bedsheets into a hot-air balloon. Stasi agents spot a scrap of fabric near the border fence. The families build a second balloon while the room fills with smoke from the burner. A director’s relic of real tension, snug in its classically framed dread.
