Product Description:
Acclaimed Russian director Alexei Balabanov (THE BROTHER) is the brains behind this award-winning film about the dark side of the late Victorian upper classes. Dark and subversive, OF FREAKS AND MEN is the story of a seedy man named Johann and his equally sinister assistant, who together take pictures of half-naked women being flogged. After sneaking their way into the homes of the wealthy, they shrewdly managed to engage their victims in some pornographic situations. Black comedy at its bravest, OF FREAKS AND MEN is a ground-breaking Russian film.
Description by Image Entertainment:
This deliciously subversive, beautifully photographed film by award-winning Russian director Alexei Balabanov explores the seamy underside of the early 20th century upper classes. The sinister Johann and his wicked assistant, who photograph the floggings of bare-bottomed women, maneuver their way into two well-to-do families, involving them in their pornographic schemes. Darkly humorous and startlingly original, this compelling tale reveals the manipulation and revenge, hidden passions and sadomasochistic urges, underlying the charm and propriety of Victorian society. Official Selection of the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.
