Description
The First International Circus Arts Festival in Budapest features a dazzling variety of the world's top circus performers, all competing for the gold trophy. See the incredible talents of Russia's Toroszjan, a combination of basketball and gymnastics conducted on trampoline! Be mesmerized by the magic of Romania's Veniamin, one of the circus's most unusual acts, or wonder "How does she do it?" when Elana Popova of Russia dangles by her heels from a trapeze 60 feet above the ground. You'll marvel at the beauty of the "Golden Pyramid," with a trio of German and Hungarian performers adorned with little more than gold paint, demonstrating exquisite balance and flexibility. If you love the circus (and who doesn't?), you will adore this captivating competition. It's got it all--equestrian and elephant acts, juggling extraordinaire, breathtaking high wire performances, amazing contortions, unbridled unicycles, rambunctious clowning and much, much more. 96 minutes.

3 out of 5 stars Just doin' it for the carnies.......2006-06-12

This is a competition style video. If you're looking for an actual circus video you'd probably be disappointed. But if you're a performer or close follower of circus acts you will definitely appreciate the skill and variety showcased here. There are some very unique acts on the DVD you won't see just anywhere. I subtracted big points for the absolutely dreadful Olympic style commentary that is overlayed on the video. No juggler has ever referred to his craft as "jugglery". If you can get past that, it's a cool video. One that I enjoy having in my collection.

2 out of 5 stars DVD circus, for clowns.......2000-08-12

A circus is more than watching talented, practised people performing tricks. It is an atmosphere thing. I personally love circusses, having seen some of the great circus acts in Russia, but the point of this DVD escapes me.

You don't get the same atmosphere as seeing these acts in real life. Maybe on an IMAX screen, but sitting in front of a TV screen watching this is plain dull.
