I found myself liking Tod Browning's 1935 Mark of the Vampire a bit more on a rewatch. Most of its problems are due to butchering by the Production Code. Carol Borland and Bela Lugosi look great but sadly most of their scenes were heavily cut.

Tod Browning: the film-maker who brought the carnival to Hollywood
A new retrospective offers another chance to appreciate the daring and often deranged films made by a director who was once the centre of a moral panic
#todbrowning #movies #cinema #film
Les modèles vivants ne sont-ils pas les freaks de l’art, qui entretiennent dans leur déguisement ultime la nostalgie du vieux carnaval ?
C’est ce qui peut venir à l’esprit en regardant cette analyse de Freaks, l’immense film de Tod Browning, par le singulier Pacôme Thiellement.

"La règle du #NormShow, c’est l’humiliation, la sélection et l’exclusion. Celle du #FreakShow, l’humilité. Une humilité qui naît de la conscience de la cruauté de l’existence, mais aussi de la beauté qui peut naître des relations humaines au sein de celle-ci. La vingtaine de #Freaks montrés dans le film de #TodBrowning sont essentiellement des hommes et des femmes réduits ou mutilés. Paradoxe de la part d’un quasi-géant, Freaks célèbre la puissance de ce qui est petit et la force de ce qui est faible. La constante du Norm Show, c’est la réaction à l’actualité. C’est une soumission implicite à une lecture chronologique du Temps. Une vision progressiste ou réactionnaire, mais qui, dans les deux cas, nous place toujours dans un entre-deux restreint ; ce moment intermédiaire, hériter d’une histoire récente, meilleure ou moins bien, et qui se projette dans un futur lamentable ou radieux. La constante du cirque, c’est l’anachronisme. C’est un instant qui échappe au Temps en faisant se mêler explicitement le passé le plus archaïque et l’utopie la plus folle, le tout dans un présent circulaire où tout a lieu à la fois. [...] nous rirons ensemble de ce monde menteur. Là où est la fin, là aussi sera le commencement : Le Norm Show doit disparaître."
