Perfectly Round Red Floating Object (and its hypnotic power!)

Le Ballon Rouge (1956) - Lamorisse

It's so simple yet so captivating and beautiful. You can't simply look away from the perfectly round red balloon for a second. I won't even investigate as to how Lamorisse achieved wrangling the balloon. It's pure magic. Yeah, that's it.

Although I would recommend seeing this on the big screen, you can view its entire 34 minutes on youtube:
