Thankfully, the cinematography and set provide ample relief from the humdrum plot. A whirling and occasionally unfocused camera heightens the camp of the freak show, filled with the patchwork tents and car parts that form the wandering circus’ home.

Their musical reunion this year—in Mexico, of all places—promised to synthesize their respective sensibilities into a more satisfying, cohesive whole than ever before...
