Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away (2012)
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: WORLDS AWAY (2012) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Andrew Adamson
Erica Linz, Igor Zaripov,
Lutz Halhubner, John Clarke
A girl goes to the circus, where she follows an aerialist down a rabbit hole and into a dream world that's ten times stranger than the circus. That's it for the story, but it's enough to string together a bunch of Cirque du Soleil's greatest hits. Some sequences are more striking than others, but they all exhibit a keen grasp of the laws of physics, an eye-popping sense of spectacle, and a willingness to explore what amazing things the human body can do. Drop down the rabbit hole yourself, and see.
