A child is born. He is young, in a jungle setting, with fanciful instincts guiding him. An adolescent, he enters a desert, where a man spins a large cube of metal tubing. He leaves his instincts behind and enters a garden where two statues dance in a pond. As he watches their sensual acrobatics of love, he becomes a man.

What are critics saying?
Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
The troupe deserves every bit of its worldwide renown, and it makes this Imax trip one well worth taking.
The ugly, witless pair of clowns who flit through the movie are emblematic of everything that is wrong with this dull, monumentally pretentious mess.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Unnecessary and silly.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
A hokey, more-than-a-little-annoying mystical journey of self-discovery.
San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Stack
The big screen -- with that 3-D depth charge -- captures the strange magic of the "big top" Cirque in visual gulps.
A film worthy of being displayed on a screen eight stories high.
