Once Upon a Time There Was the Continental Circus is quite the spectacle, running a full three hours that feels both nostalgic and raw. It’s a dive into the passion-driven world of a few dedicated men who’ve lived the circus life since the 70s. The atmosphere is thick with longing and the unfiltered essence of motorsport culture. Bernard Fau, the filmmaker, brings us intimate testimonials and some unseen archives that really flesh out the history of these legendary drivers. The pacing can feel languid at times, but it lets you breathe and soak in the gravity of their experiences. It’s a blend of personal stories and the relentless pursuit of passion - a unique piece that feels more like a tribute than a traditional doc.
