The Great Mystical Circus

Reality and fantasy collide in The Great Mystical Circus, the spectacular story of a family-owned circus that spans five generations of adventure, decadence, love and loss, as told by Cinema Novo master director Carlos Diegues (Bye Bye Brazil, Quilombo). This rousing, sensational tale of magical realism stars Vincent Cassel (Black Swan), is based on a poem by Jorge de Lima, and features a score by one of Brazil’s most renowned songwriters, Chico Buarque.
