Bogdan Dziworski
1979 - Pologne - Couleur et Noir & Blanc - 20'
An unusual documentary film about the life of the circus. Bogdan Dziworski chooses to show a calm but penetrating observation of circus artists during performances and at leisure time than to plunge us into a spectacular and « felliniesque » vision of the circus as a baroque world. This serene phenomenology of the circus everyday life is built on the muffled soundscape, the sepia cinematography and the slow rhythm of the editing: ironically, in the end, a long shot filmed from a teeter-totter shows us the dreamlike reverse of this strange world.
