Freaks

Filmed in 1932, Directed by Tod Browning Also Known as, "Forbidden Love", "The Monster Show", "Nature's Mistakes", WARNING - some viewers may well find this disturbing. This is a film about a circus and its Troup. There are many actual 'Sideshow' performers in the film, and this led to it having a very controversial history. However, I think it is an important film for many reasons, as well as an excellent piece of 'Film Noir'. Good Luck !!!
