Enjoyable if fairly repetitive documentary focusing on old-school entertainment.
Eschews cosy nostalgia.
Benedikt Erlingsson’s strange, woozy documentary ranges across half a century of circus and fairground entertainment.
The anonymous performers from so long ago show both bravery and, often, startling balletic grace. It's very eerie to watch.
Icelandic director Benedikt Erlingsson binds archive footage together with a stunning Sigur Rós soundtrack to evoke all the fun of the fair.
