Review of The Last Circus (2010) by Alec B — 19 Oct 2011
Believe me "Torture Porn with Clowns" sure sounded like an amusing genre, but having a film fire on all cylinders like this is rather off putting. The film's opening scenes promise an amusing (if disturbed) satire of the Franco regime.
Unfortunately, the narrative collapses on itself rather suddenly, as if director Alex de la Iglesia decided that if he pushed the film to the most bat-shit insane limits(with some awful symbolism he rams down the audience's throats) that he wouldn't have to come up with anything resembling a coherent story.
The film has gotten generally positive reviews so I'll assume people saw something stylish, with clowns and metaphors and references to Franco fascism so they just assumed it was a good film.
