Cirque du Soleil - Saltimbanco

Summary: Very Disappointing!
Review: This is the third Cirque du Soleil I've seen and I am extremely disappointed! (so are my children!) The acts are still astounding and the performers every bit as amazing as before but the camera will drive you insane! There is what I think would be an amazing tap dance by two girls but the camera zooms on their faces almost the ENTIRE time they dance! This is no exaggeration! There is an astounding high wire act where the girl does a back flip onto a lower and parallel wire and then she flips back onto the higher parallel wire. The camera is the best during this routine and you can actually see most of the act! (except when the camera zooms on the face of a clown who's watching the act for four seconds at a time) The music had a harsh annoying sound with screechy guitars mixed with a big band sound. This video lacked the flow and unique feel of Quidam, another of the cirque du soleil shows. As much as I love seeing the talent of these artists, like the amazing juggler, I would have skipped purchasing this movie if I'd known how frustrating the camera would be....(It's worse than it's ever been!) I just cannot understand why any director would have these astonishing performances filmed this way! Why in the world wouldn't they want to film it in the way that would enable the best viewing of the show? I strongly advise everyone to skip this movie and try to catch the show live. Or buy Quidam.

Review: This video is amazing. It features some acts of the Saltimbanco tour by Cirque du Soleil, including tight-rope walking, juggling by the amazing Miguel Herrera, hand balancing with the marvelous Lorado brothers, clowning, chinese masts, ... The music is good, the artists are excellent, the costumes are great: a unique experience, though not as good as seeing them live (except that you can watch it again and again.
