About Marceline, the Best Clown in the World
An account of the life and work of the Spanish clown, mime, acrobat and actor Marcelino Orbés (1873-1927), known as Marceline, who, between 1900 and 1914, was unanimously acclaimed as the best in the world.
Directed by Germán Roda, Marceline, the Best Clown in the World leans on a strong ensemble — Pepe Viyuela, Laura Gómez-Lacueva, Cristina Gallego — 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 documentary titles of 2020.
