The manège of nightmares in THE LAST CIRCUS

The Last Circus (original Balada triste de trompeta, 2010) by spanish director Álex de la Iglesia, truly is the material nightmares are made of. It took my dreamy nostalgic view on life in a travelling circus and just crushed it under a unsettling mountain of violence, sadism and savagery. A surreal and enthralling ballad that, in best case, leaves you with only a fear of clowns.
