THE LAST CIRCUS

July 30th, 2011

THE LAST CIRCUS- 2010. Synopsis by Netflix. “After landing a gig as a sad circus clown, timid Javier (Carlos Areces) falls for beguiling but masochistic trapeze artist Natalia (Carolina Bang) and begins battling for the beauty’s affections with her brutally abusive boyfriend, Sergio (Antonio de la Torre). Written and directed by Álex de la Iglesia, this darkly humorous commentary on Spain’s fascist past features an abundance of blood-splattered violence and gruesome gore.” Some very good early reviews. TRDB.

8/19/11- Very good review in today’s NY Times. TRDB.

11/3/11- This movie was ridiculous and I turned it off. Slapstick crap. TRDB. Netflix.
