Review of Freaks (1932) by Dominic S — 20 Aug 2013
For a 1932 film, Freaks is such an enjoying film to watch and such a well directed and well acted hour or so long film.
The audience views the lives if the various different talented and unique performers and "freaks" in a traveling circus.
In particular, we follow Cleopatra and Hercules, "normal" able-bodied performers and lovers, Hans and Frieda, two midget performers, and Venus and Phonso.
Hans is attracted to Cleopatra but after she learned of Hans' mass fortune, she agrees to marry him, and she slips poison in his wine, but not enough to kill him, resulting in being temporarily bed ridden.
I can't believe how interestingly brilliant this film is and how much I enjoyed it. It's one of Hollywoods early classics that sticks with you through life.
The costume design, makeup, and special effects are fantastic.
Freaks, I give you a 100%.
