Plot: A boy watches his father, a clown in a circus, taken away to fight
instead. Years later he seeks to save his father from a brutal life
working the mines, but instead witnesses his death. As an adult he
becomes a "sad" clown for a small circus and finds himself falling for a
trapeze artist who happens to be the owner's mistress. She is cruelly
beaten by the owner, leading to a confrontation that sets the young man
down a path of revenge and madness. -- Chris Kavan

An incredibly bizarre tale of love, revenge and madness - it looks amazing but borders on the grotesque - if you're not afraid of clowns yet, you will by the end of of this film. It also portrays the horrors of war while balancing it against one of the most messed-up love stories you'll see. Not for everyone, but truly an experience.
