About The Great Mystical Circus
The story of five generations of the Austrian-Brazilian Knieps family, from the inauguration of their family-owned Great Mystical Circus in the 1910s up to the early 21st century, following both the family and the circus from their prime through to their decadence.
Directed by Carlos Diegues, The Great Mystical Circus leans on a strong ensemble — Jesuíta Barbosa, Vincent Cassel, Mariana Ximenes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
