A festival, so I find out, is also made of films that can’t be shown (rights, agents, unavailable prints…). As for the acrobats, this is not the Jerry Lewis I had in mind but other surprising links are formed and it’s so much better. For example, I can perfectly picture Herbert H. Heebert (the character Jerry plays and who gives up on love because it’s too painful, who will undertake a journey through his fears, his avoidance of women) belonging to the men from Los que desean (Those who desire)…
