Calder's Circus

Carlos Vilardebó's movie based on sculptor Alexander Calder's Circus, a complex automation composed of cork and wire and other bits of stuff which knocked `em dead in 1927. Vilardebó's surprisingly funny movie captures Calder making the tiny wire and wood circus performers do their thing after what must have been a maelstrom of painstakingly planning shit out.
