In the countryside of Brazil, the itinerant circus owned by Valdemar (Paulo José), aka the clown Puro Sangue, travels from village to village to bring happiness to the dwellers. Valdemar's son Benjamin (Selton Mello), aka the clown Pangaré, does not have any document but his birth certificate and dreams on having a fan of his own. Benjamin decides to leave the circus in search for his identity, to settle down in a small town with a steady job and raise a family of his own. However, he returns to the life in the circus with his dreamed fan.
"O Palhaço" is a deceptive, boring, dull and tedious film by Selton Mello. A couple of months ago, I saw the trailer on television and I expected a great film. Fortunately I have not gone to the movie theater and I feel sorry for those that have gone. Today I have just seen "O Palhaço" on DVD and I really did not like it. It is impressive the number of fake reviews in IMDb promoting this flick. My vote is four.
