Circus in the Circus

About This Movie

So, 'Circus in the Circus' is this quirky blend of comedy and family themes, bringing together an unusual bunch of characters in Moscow during an international zoophilologists conference. The film kind of bounces around with its pacing, mixing circus acts and personal stories, which gives it a unique atmosphere. Iva Janzurová as Mrs. Whistler adds a delightful touch, her character’s interactions with the circus performers really highlight the blend of academia and showbiz. The practical effects are charmingly dated, adding to that nostalgic feel. It’s this curious piece of cinema that captures the whims of the time and the spirit of performance art through a rather odd lens.

Finding 'Circus in the Circus' on physical media can be a bit of a hunt, as it never had a massive release. There are a few VHS copies floating around, and some DVD editions, though they aren’t easy to come by. Collector interest tends to be niche, focusing on its unique premise and the way it reflects the 70s circus culture. If you’re into films that offer a different take on family dynamics and the circus world, this one might catch your eye.
