Movie Reviews of Cirque du Soleil - Varekai
Movie Review: A stunning performance
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of Cirque du Soleil, or performance art, theatre, or acrobatics, this product is for you. Varekai is one of the most abstract, "artsy," and theatrical shows I've seen so far by Cirque. The costumes are stunning, the music is enchanting, and, as always, Cirque delivers some of the most entertaining and amazing acrobatics you'll see anywhere, all seamlessly molded into a continuous narrative about the central characters and story. Watching Varekai is like watching a strangely beautiful dream unfold before your eyes. Absolutely enchanting.
Summary of Cirque du Soleil - Varekai
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/07/2003 Run time: 115 minutes Rating: DEven by the high standards of Cirque du Soleil, Varekai is outstanding. While this artsy circus often aspires to weave a narrative through its spectacular events, in Varekai that story (about a winged boy who falls to earth and falls in love with a caterpillar girl) is as delightful and engaging as the acrobatic feats--which is saying a lot, because these feats will leave you agog. Acrobats juggle each others' bodies with their legs; identical twins spin on aerial straps; a contortionist twists into uncanny pretzel shapes; and much, much more. The elaborate costumes truly do evoke an otherworldly place--one of the clown characters looks like a man's torso emerging from the mouth of a carnivorous plant. Exceptionally well-filmed, and featuring a wealth of extra features about the making of the show, Varekai is Cirque du Soleil at the peak of its powers: Dizzy, dazzling, and sexy. --Bret Fetzer
