Cirque Du Soleil – (Reliance Home Video) - Rs. 599/-

Cast: Erica Linz, Igor Zaripov
Written and Directed By: Andrew Adamson

Those who love the circus, this is a visual feast with unbelievable acrobatic stunts, outrageous costumes, good background score by the Beatles, all this, backed by a heavy display of Love, which is the basis of the story here. Anyone who saw Cirque Du Soleil’s tribute to the Beatles A Day in the Life perform Let it Be at the Grammys in 2008 would know how cinematic the show is. There is also an Elvis track included in this set that should get your feet tapping.

The film does not have a great plot, and is also dialogue-free...but at the Cirque Du Soleil you would really not go for the plot, as you would be engrossed watching actors leap, soar, swim and dance with the legendary performers of Cirque du Soleil.

Worlds Away is a stunning compilation of acts from seven Las Vegas shows: O, Kà, Mystère, Criss Angel Believe, Zumanity, Viva Elvis, and The Beatles Love. These acts are woven together to tell a story of a young woman (Cirque performer Erica Linz) visiting a run-down carnival on the edge of town. She is mesmerized watching a male aerialist (Igor Zaripov) performing. Stunned by her beauty, he misses his grip and falls on the circus ground… into the sand of the circus ring floor which collapses to suck him in. the young woman leaves her seat and rushes to help him only to get sucked in an ethereal world. It turns out that he has been captured. Once there she searches for the man she has only glimpsed, but is destined to love. She see's many cool circus acts in this new place as she looks for him. She seeks the help of the circus workers to find him. The aerialist and the girl almost find each other but are attacked by huge creatures. The film showcases everything from synchronized water ballet to martial arts-inspired combat, aerial silk acrobatics, contortionism, and the really frightening Wheel of Death. Each impeccably choreographed presentation is breathtaking, defying the laws of the human body's capabilities. Special Features of this fantasy flick include Making Worlds Away and A Day in the life with Erica Linz.
