Circus Angel (1965): Melankolik Bir Gösterinin Ardındaki Yalnızlık Albert Lamorisse’in Circus Angel (L'ange du cirque), sirkin büyüleyici dünyasını masalsı bir melankoliyle ele alan, görsel şiirselliği yüksek bir yapımdır. Yönetmenin Le Ballon Rouge’daki (1956) duyarlılığı burada da hissedilir; ancak bu kez renklerin oyunbazlığı yerini, sirk perdesinin ardındaki hüzne bırakır. Filmin ana karakteri, sirk dünyasında bir melek gibi görünen ancak içsel olarak yalnızlıkla boğuşan bir sanatçıdır. Lamorisse’in ustalıklı sinematografisi, sahne ışıklarının gösterişli parıltısını ve kulislerdeki gölgeleri ustalıkla dengeler. Sessiz anların ağır basması, karakterin iç dünyasını seyirciye derinlemesine hissettirir. Circus Angel, sirkin sadece bir eğlence aracı olmadığını, içinde barındırdığı kayıp ruhların, kısa süreliğine bile olsa gökyüzüne yükselmek için verdiği mücadelenin sahnesi olduğunu hatırlatan dokunaklı bir sinema şiiridir.

At thirty-three, Philippe, an actor who has turned to Commedia dell'Arte, has reached an age where everything he believed in is being called into question, his family life as well as his professional life, and even the importance he attaches to his masks, an importance that may be derisory. His life appears to him without embellishment, without any romanticism. He has taken refuge within himself. He is more alone than ever. The island on which Philippe has landed echoes the same everyday elements, but in an almost mythical, sometimes caricatural way. We encounter characters buried in their little lives, whose hopes and concerns seem futile. Then, in these clouds, in this mist, a lull...

So, in Walter Mitty's style, he takes refuge in his fantasies, in which he finds it easy to be seductive, saving his lady from every possible and imaginable danger. The trouble is that those who win in their dreams often lose in real life. Except that at times real life surpasses imagination.
