The Last Circus is a rough ride. The pacing is fast, but what makes it truly disorienting is the sudden sharp turns. The plot and mood swing wildly between rage, love, death, sex, slapstick, and satire. You’re laughing one minute and then horrified the next, often in the same scene. Not only does The Last Circus switch moods it switches modes. It’s a pastiche, a parody, an art film, a batman film, a Fellini film, a Sam Peckinpah film, and many more.
