FREAKS (SOUS-TITRES FRANAIS)

Details

• Release Year: 1932
• Genre: Horror
• Plot: 'Gooble-gobble... we accept her... one of us,' goes the haunting chant of Freaks. Yet it would be decades before this widely banned morality play gained acceptance as a cult masterpiece.; ; Tod Browning (1931's Dracula) directs this landmark movie in which the true freaks are not the story's sideshow performers, but 'normals' who mock and abuse them. Browning, a former circus contortionist, cast real-life sideshow professionals. A living torso who nimbly lights his own cigarette despite having no arms or legs, microcephalics (whom the film calls 'pinheads') – they and others play the big-top troupers who inflict a terrible revenge on a trapeze artist who treats them as subhumans. In 1994, Freaks was selected for the National Film Registry's archive of cinematic treasures.
