Sempre più difficile

About This Movie

Sempre più difficile is a fascinating dive into a fading world, the Italian small family circus, capturing that raw essence of street theatre. The documentary unfolds like a gentle lament, showcasing the artistry of the performers who cling to traditions in a time when such craft seems all but lost. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the vibrant colors of the circus life, the laughter, and the underlying sadness of its decline. It's not just about the circus itself; it’s a meditation on family, legacy, and the relentless march of modernity, where the charm of Commedia dell'Arte struggles against the allure of television. There's something hauntingly beautiful about these performances, which feel like echoes from a past that’s slipping away.
