Review of Freaks (1932) by Michael H — 31 Oct 2015
Tod Browningâ??s 1932 tale of love and deception among the members of a carnival sideshow was banned for years by the BBFC on the grounds that it â??exploited for commercial reasons the deformed people that it claimed to dignifyâ??.
Today, Browningâ??s sympathies are clear; if there are â??freaksâ?? on display here, they are not the versatile performers to whom the title seems to allude.
