Freaks (1932)
This movie has become a famed cult film because it stars a group of deformed and handicapped and disabled circus performers. Yet this is no horror movie, it is a love story between those outside of our accepted society.
The acting is so-so, but the fact that people so outside of beautiful Hollywood were given a voice is something to behold. This is a brave movie to not mock or pity, but to reveal.
A beautiful trapeze artist falls in ‘love’ with a vertically challenged man who leaves his similarly ‘different’ girlfriend for the dream woman. Another lovely woman is abused by her boyfriend and the others rebel against him. These are not easy stories to tell, but they hit you hard unlike so many movies of this era.
A fascinating risk.
