本片荣获2011年歌雅奖最佳发型设计、最佳特效奖；2010年威尼斯国际电影节最佳剧本奖和银狮奖最佳导演奖。 1937, Spain is in the midst of the brutal Spanish Civil War. A "Happy" circus clown is interrupted mid-performance and forcibly recruited by a militia. Still in his costume, he is handed a machete and led into battle against National soldiers, where he single handedly massacres an entire platoon. Fast forward to 1973, the tail end of the Franco regime. Javier, the son of the clown, dreams of following in his father's career footsteps, but has seen too much tragedy in his life-he's simply not funny and is only equipped to play the role of the Sad Clown. He finds work in a circus where he befriends an outlandish cast of characters, but as the Sad Clown he must take the abuse of the brutish Happy Clown Sergio, who humiliates Javier daily in the name of entertainment. It is here that he meets Natalia, a gorgeous acrobat, and abused wife of Sergio. Javier falls deeply in love with Natalia and tries to rescue her from her cruel and violent husband, unleashing Sergio's jealousy. But Natalia is torn between her affection towards Javier and her lust for Sergio.

片头信息量很大
恶的本性，丑的现实，为了政治寓意而塑造的故事太过单薄。权力要想演得好是要有天赋的。
过了
这个片子整体不错，但是伤心小号曲的出现和男主分裂都来的太突然了。到最后也没觉得伤心小号曲怎么就点题了，对西班牙不懂的太多。
“不是我们，是这个国家要完蛋了”结尾才来那么一段，不过真心喜欢这部戏的场景，黑暗系童话，两个小丑，一个西班牙美女，最后，一场悲伤的盛宴，纵身一跃那一幕，巨大的十字架，印象很深刻。
《伤心小号曲》是今年除了中岛哲也《告白》之外，看完直接打满分的电影，它的混乱疯狂，贴片式历史画卷，暴躁一气的精致纯洁，狂放的肉体存在感，粘附着血浆体液的巴洛克式美感，像苍蝇一样骑着摩托在天空飞行一次次撞向墙壁却死不悔改的侏儒，阿莫多瓦、比格斯·鲁纳之后的西班牙电影就看伊格来希亚。
有些场面太over不是我喜欢的类型和题材
用血腥腐烂变态等等来描述一个时代的倒塌，如同台词里说“不是我们 是这个国家要完蛋了”不过有点用力过猛的感觉
悲伤小丑是五星级的创意，但导演执行力稍弱，极棒的开场竟然是最后一场好戏。昆汀大爱。
将癫狂和暴力不断加剧，难得的是这种暴戾的情绪可以一直延续到影片的最后一分钟，一切尽癫狂！残酷的极致竟然可是喜剧！★★★★
画面风格大赞 但故事情结怎么感觉有些支离破碎
the cunted circus never ends
男人越胖 鸡鸡越小
又是看了不開心的片子……不開心……太不開心了……
一部拒绝Amigo的西语片，独特视觉暴力，魔幻现实主义一路狂奔，野兽、小丑、女人、十字架、弗朗哥、埃塔、卡雷罗布兰科。通篇追寻疯狂的爱、实践同样疯狂的复仇，以扭曲的黑暗人性书写同样扭曲的西班牙独裁时代，结局生死之战宏大凄美，泼洒奇诡想象力，堪称天才横溢的作品。
