"Alegria"
1998
Directed by Franco Dragone
Inspired by the 10th anniversary production of the Cirque du Soleil, this
visually imaginative film features performers from the world famous avant garde circus
troupe in a dazzling romantic fantasy. When a street mime loses his love for art and life,
he plans to let a train end his misery. A young boy saves him from his attempted suicide
and the train, carrying a travelling circus, offers him a new reason for living. The mime
falls in love with a beautiful circus performer, but he must overcome the disapproval of
her stern father (Frank Langella) to join the woman he adores. 93 minutes. |
