The story here only goes as far as the ambitions the circus wishes to
fulfill: making art worthy of the name, an art committed to real
social impact. But these buffoons end up spending most of their time
arguing about all sorts of topics: the beauty of the landscape, the
qualities of vernacular architecture, their own performances, while
the show doesn’t quite seem to get off the ground. The film’s success
and Juan Rodrigáñez’s uniqueness may be accounted for in terms of an
intriguing mix, with the salt of true comedy added, of theoretical
quibbles and attempts at circus numbers, of truly valid questions and
the vanity of situations. Under a perfectly merry comedy horizon (for
instance, how to imitate a bear or a fish along the shore), bitterness
keeps growing as it plagues the beauty of the landscape. (Jean-Pierre
Rehm)
