Die Artisten in der Zirkuskuppel: Ratlos (1968)

English title: The Artist in the Circus Dome: Clueless.

Comments: It has the same central character as The Indomitable Leni Peickert. It shows her efforts to bring new ideas to circus performances. The narrative is neither linear, nor focused; trivial events are shown alongside more closely plot-related ones, without any difference in emphasis. It sometimes works as a comedy, and other times doesn't work at all. It dodges categorization, but can't always dodge being plain silly or dull.

Rating: 36
