Written and directed by Álex de la Iglesia, The Last Circus has received many accolades from media and print reporters alike. According to Variety, "Cult status is assured." From the Village Voice, "Makes Pan's Labyrinth look like Sesame Street."And from Harry Knowles at AICN, "BRILLIANT. A GREAT FILM. A searing, intimate work riffing on Hitchcock, DePalma, Fellini, the Universal Monster films and German Expressionism." You can't get higher praise than that. A winner at the 2010 Venice Film Festival, The Last Circus opens at theaters this weekend.
