Opening with a prologue set in 1937 -- where an itinerant circus' "Sad Clown" (Santiago...

Things continue this week with a March 21st screening of his Witching & Bitching and we want to give you tickets!Marking de la Iglesia's return to his horror-comedy roots following the genre-bending The Last Circus, Witching & Bitching begins with a bizarre jewellery heist pulled off by stickup men dressed as iconic pop-culture characters and led by a silver-skinned Jesus. Escaping into the impenetrable forests of the Basque countryside, the hapless hoods find themselves facing troubles far greater than the cops when they land smack-dab in a bloodthirsty coven of witches, who subject the macho misogynists to...

Hey, Toronto! Twitch is proud to present Dancing With The Devil - an extensive retrospective of Spanish maverick Alex de la Iglesia unspooling at the Tiff Bell Lightbox. Things continue this week with a February 21st screening of his Common Wealth and we want to give you tickets!De la Iglesia's deliciously dark and macabre comedy of murders takes a setup akin to Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan and Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave and gives it a loopily absurdist twist. After moving into a new apartment, middle-aged real estate agent Julia (Almodóvar regular Carmen Maura) discovers a huge cache of cash that belonged to the recently deceased former tenant. Whereas the Raimi and Boyle films chronicled how their corrupt crews of conspirators gradually imploded due to...

Hey, Toronto! Twitch is proud to present Dancing With The Devil - an extensive retrospective of Spanish maverick Alex de la Iglesia unspooling at the Tiff Bell Lightbox. Things continue this week with a February 7th screening of his Perdita Durango and we want to give you tickets!De la Iglesia made an ambitious bid for the English-speaking market with this balls-out adaptation of Barry Gifford's 59° and Raining. A typically grim Giffordian tale of mad love, hot cars and ultraviolence, the film stars Rosie Perez as the title heroine (previously played by Isabella Rossellini in David Lynch's Wild at Heart), who hooks up with lusty, loose-screwed bank robber/witch doctor Romeo Dolorosa (Javier Bardem, sporting another in his long line of bizarre haircuts) and joins him...

But one simple Spanish priest believes he has the key to our salvation: if he can commit enough sins to make the Devil believe that he is on the side of evil, he can learn where and when the Antichrist will be born and slay the hellspawn before it can destroy the world....
