Two clowns duke it out
The Day of the Beast and Accion Mutante‘s Alex de la Iglesia’s 2010 effort The Last Circus, a bizarre-looking romp, is coming to the U.S. courtesy of Magnet Releasing.
Written by Iglesia, the film kicks off during the Spanish Civil War, where members of a circus are forced to fight a platoon, in full circus garb. The story picks up many years later to focus on the rivalry that simmers between a sad clown (the son of one of the circus performers who saw combat) and a happy clown and what the two will do to win the affections of a woman.
Nice to see Iglesia back in this sort of territory after The Oxford Murders.
Stay tuned for release date news as it comes in.
