The Last Circus is a Spanish language film that will be releasing in some theatres August 19th, thanks to Magnolia Pictures. This is a surreal film that puts a clown in the middle of the Spanish Civil War. The film seems to jump from frame to frame in the red band trailer for the film, while a sneering clown unloads clip after clip. This clown is not out to bring smiles but bloodshed and fans of the film can enjoy the North American poster for the film here. The graphic tells fans: "it's showtime!" And the show begins this summer.
A partial synopsis for The Last Circus is here:
"1937: Spain is in the midst of the brutal Spanish Civil War. A 'Happy' circus clown is interrupted mid-performance and forcibly recruited by a militia. Still in his costume, he is handed a machete and led into battle against National soldiers,...

We’re here to continue our little festival chat and represent another title In Competition for the Golden Lion statue, this year, at 67th Venice Film Festival.
Balada triste de trompeta or A Sad Trumpet Ballad is the movie that comes from Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia, and it’s already been described as the comedy that follows two circus clowns, but it’s definitely more than just a comedy….
Here’s the A Sad Trumpet Ballad synopsis: “…1937. The circus monkeys scream wildly inside their cage while, outside, men kill and die in another circus: the Spanish Civil War.
The Stupid Clown, recruited against his will by the Militia, ends up carrying out a bloodbath with a machete against the National soldiers while still wearing his costume.
And so starts this eventful adventure in which Javier and Sergio, two terrifyingly disfigured clowns, fight to the death for the ambiguous...

San Sebastian, Spain -- Spanish cult director Alex de la Iglesia will direct "Balada Triste de Trompeta," a tragic comedy co-produced by Spain's Tornosol and France's La Fabrique du Film.
The €8 million ($11.2 million), Spanish-language "grotesque tragedy" -- as De la Iglesia described it -- centers on two clowns in love with the same trapeze artist at a Spanish circus.
Set to shoot in Madrid and Alicante's Ciudad de la Luz studio in January, the film follows De la Iglesia's 2008 "The Oxford Murders," also produced by Tornosol and Fabrique du Film. The English-language "Murders" starred Elijah Wood and was Spain's highest-grossing homegrown hit at the domestic boxoffice last year with €8.2 million ($12 million).
Unlike "Murders," "Trompeta" is based on a De la Iglesia script, which promises the unique style and dark humor of the director-writer of such hits as "Day of the Beast," "The Commonwealth" and "Ferpect Crime."
