The Last Circus (2010) ***

Beautiful visuals, highly stylized, but a bit silly and takes itself a little too seriously, trying to incorporate real life events. This film had the potential to be really cool and bizarre, but plays by the numbers in the last quarter of the film. It started out very promising, but turned into a series of clichés. It reminded me of Santa Sangre, but wasn't nearly as good. I'm still giving it ***, because I enjoyed many aspects of this film.
