Geraldine Creed's CHAOS uses a classic love story to comment on the future of Ireland's political integration into Europe. When a biker (Jason Barry) gives up on his dreary life in rural Ireland, he joins a "metal circus," and tours various European cities. He falls in love with one of the circus performers and decides to leave, but first must confront his controlling boss. Creed portrays a bleak, but realistic future, with the circus "gladiators" fighting on motorcycles, with chainsaws, in a ring of fire, but ultimately provides interesting insight into the human spirit.
