Opening with childrens laughter, as two clowns perform. Beautifully lit giving the proceedings a cartoonish feel. A hit of reality( set in the time period of Spanish civil war). The whole circus is drafted into the conflict( bearded lady excluded). The clown( in full costume and makeup) running into battle machete in hand slashing wildly at his enemies. From cartoonish via surreal to brutal. And this is only the set up for the story to unfold.
Alex de la iglesia's film is a tale of revenge, tangled relationships old and new and their consequences personal and political over a 25ish period of time. It displays all his qualities as film maker. Brutal, surreal,cartoonish,funny.
Along with the director the actors do a first rate job( no matter how big or small their role may be) in creating a believable world for them to inhabit, interact and play out the drama.
A director who deserves to have more recognition than he has at the present
time.
Recommended viewing for people who want a bit more individuality than the standard Hollywood / commercial model.
