Bizarre: A Circus Story
An intimate look at the extraordinary life of Master Lu Yi, hailed as the father of modern acrobatics, and the vast community of big-top lovers who share his dream of a thriving US circus industry.
My takeA reverent portrait of passion and persistence in an unlikely corner of American culture. This is the kind of documentary that reminds you why people dedicate their lives to seemingly impossible dreams—intimate, wonderfully specific, and deeply human.
