Watch The Red Band Trailer for Álex de la Iglesia's LAST CIRCUS

Back in April we gave you the trailer for Alex De La Inglesia's LAST CIRCUS(Balada Triste de Trompeta)  which had just been picked up by Magnolia. Roll on a few months and Magnolia have released a new red band trailer which you can enjoy below. Due some mix ups I was due to catch this at Edinburgh Film Festival (UK premiere), set in the backdrop of Franco Spain and the country's bloody civil war throw in a pyschotic killer clown who would easily fit into BBC's Pyschoville we have a dark twisted action packed dark humorous movie which is certain to gain a cult following.It's a shame there wont be more cinephiles worldwide will be able to see this and there's still no word if this will get any form of distribution her in UK or the fair isle, for now your best bet is at Festivals.

Below is an redband trailer but it has no age verification so please beware there maybe scenes, language that may offend some people (not for eyes of any minors too!) and certainly don't watch at work! You've been warned!!!



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, where he single handedly massacres an entire platoon. Fast forward to 1973, the tail end of the Franco regime. Javier, the son of the clown, dreams of following in his father's career footsteps, but has seen too much tragedy in his life - he's simply not funny and is only equipped to play the role of the Sad Clown. He finds work in a circus where he befriends an outlandish cast of characters, but as the Sad Clown he must take the abuse of the brutish Happy Clown Sergio, who humiliates Javier daily in the name of entertainment. It is here that he meets Natalia, a gorgeous acrobat, and abused wife of Sergio. Javier falls deeply in love with Natalia and tries to rescue her from her cruel and violent husband, unleashing Sergio's jealousy. But Natalia is torn between her affection towards Javier, and her lust for Sergio. With neither man willing to back down, this twisted love triangle evolves into a ferocious battle between Sad Clown and Happy Clown, escalating to unbelievable heights in this absurd, shocking, irreverent and unforgettable film.
