“The body of work that Albert Lamorisse left behind may be small, but his achievement can’t be fully measured in feet of footage. “Astonish me” is advice that was once famously given by a mentor to Jean Cocteau—and the fact that Lamorisse’s filmography contains a great number of astonishing feats makes him akin to that great surrealist, perhaps the French director with whom he had the most in common. Lamorisse gave his illusions the conviction of reality, and he made the real world seem as miraculous as myth. His eye transformed what it fell on, unlocking the extraordinary. His work gets at something central to cinematic pleasure: our urge to see the world represented honestly, and then given a gentle turn into fantasy. “I’m happy,” Lamorisse said, “to have been able to free cinema from earth.”
- David Cairns, “Head in the Clouds: The Cinema of Albert Lamorisse”

Damien Chazelle's love for Golden Age of Hollywood is reflected throughout La La Land (2016) which is why it is laden with homages from its opening shot to its grand finale. One such example is when La La Land (2016) pays homage to Academy Award winner Albert Lamorisse’s young boy and The Red Balloon (1956) and Flight of the red balloon (2007) during its "epilogue".

Paris - Rue Vilin - photo by Henri Guerard
This street was used as one of the locations in the famous 1956 french film "The Red Balloon" (Le Ballon Rouge)
The Red Balloon (French: Le ballon rouge) is a 1956 French fantasy comedy-drama featurette written, produced, and directed by Albert Lamorisse. The thirty-four-minute short, which follows the adventures of a young boy who one day finds a sentient, mute, red balloon, was filmed in the Ménilmontant neighborhood of Paris.
The film won numerous awards, including an Oscar for Lamorisse for writing the Best Original Screenplay in 1956 and the Palme d'Or for short films at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. It also became popular with children and educators. It is the only short film to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
