A: It's a film about clowns.
B: Oh, right. Gotcha. A funny one with slapstick and that.
A: Not really, no.
B: Oh...oh, I see. So it's, er, one of those scary clown movies - not funny but scary...right?
In a word: No.
It's about humans who happen to be clowns - one's got no compassion left in him, the other's a good man who can't leave the bottle alone.
My dad was of the latter variety, a firm believer in Dutch courage (despite being Canadian) and I can't wait to get to work with Damien and the rest of the cast & crew on a brave film about the real demons we all too often delude ourselves are make-believe.
Its going to be excellent :)
