"Circus of Infinity" swept me off my feet. Director Sue Corcoran's unique cinematic voice is bell clear from the first frame. A bustling pleasure for the senses, "Circus of Infinity" shuttles us between the bright lights and the raucous show of a big top circus to the golden nest of heaven, making many stops in between. What intrigued me most about "Circus of Infinity" is how its seemingly pessimistic view of the cycle of life was strangely uplifting in the end. I think much of this beautiful struggle (ex. "brash vs gentle" or "hardknock life vs loving family") is due to Corcoran's knack for shooting bizarre, freakish scenes with a keenly compassionate eye. So that we, the audience, get a strange new world but we're never fully alienated because it always resonates deeply on an emotional level.
