Following the previous superhero movie They Call Me Jeeg (2015), Gabriele Mainetti once again dedicates his latest movie Freaks Out to those who have extraordinary talents. 'Freaks' are the members of the circus, comprising a wolf-man, an insect trainer, and a human dynamo. This family-like circus tours the country and performs, until one day they are swept up in a war and forcibly disbanded. Yet eventually they rise again as superheroes to fight the fascists. The fate of this group is closely related to the expulsion of Jews from the country. Freaks Out is a spectacular actioner that reflects on differences and discriminations. Surreal images, creative stories, and the outstanding performance of Franz Rogowski come together in this film, signaling the birth of a new genre in Italian cinema. (SEO Seunghee)
