Circo

Mexico documentary

Here we follow a ramshackle family circus as they ply the backwaters of Mexico, struggling to find audiences and hold the whole thing together. The film wisely focuses on the internal dynamics which threaten to tear the circus apart...siblings who have left to live a "settled" life, and a wife who is fed up with an itinerant lifestyle where someone else controls the finances.

Sad, intelligent and well done.
