This short is enormously funny, and just about perfect in its playing out of the basic concept. The history of clown immigrants, clown language, and clown ethnic slurs are all hilariously covered. It is extremely sharply made, without a second of flab or an idea that does not serve the story and raise it to new heights of hilarity, as well as surprising poignance and relevance. In the short program of films I saw at the Seattle film festival, this film stood out like a looney in a bowl full of dimes (canadian reference); not only was this film vastly more entertaining than the tediously arty, quirky, or experimental efforts that surrounded it, it had a lot more to say. Make an effort to see this one.
