Director Sue Corcoran is to be commended for this pithy and comic telling of the "birth to death" scenario. She and a brilliantly costumed and detailed group of actors seem to have great fun with this romp but there is a punch-in-the-stomach element as well to remind us all of the circus we inhabit. A quick search on this database also finds Corcoran responsible for "Gory Gory Hallelujah", a full-length feature again with cast of thousands, all brilliantly festooned. Ms. Corcoran has a a true gift when it comes to revelations through wild story telling. One imagines a female Ed Wood but with actual talent who probably looks pretty good in an Angora sweater. She also has a knack for using actors well. Some of the same actors appear in both films mentioned here and are worth the price of admission.
