This is indeed a very engaging retelling of this classic tale. Carl Carlsson, professional juggler, proves a very competent actor as well. Although filming techniques have advanced greatly since 1984, the approach here is well matched to the mature themes of this story. Shot in California, the modern setting has a "timeless" quality to it that brings home the perennial message of this "play". I don't believe any viewer will fail to be touched profoundly.
I have purchased this in DVD format for a school library, and will probably recommend it for junior high and up. The DVD was released through Gateway Films/Vision Video. Check out www.visionvideo.com.
