1943 Nazi Rome: Matilde, Cencio, Fulvio and Mario are members of a circus family where they work as “freaks”. Israel, the circus owner, disappears while looking for an escape route for everybody across the sea. Without someone to take care for them and without the circus, the four friends feel lost in the war-torn city, not knowing what to do.
Freaks Out Freaks Out
“You will meet unusual creatures, capable of unforgettable and astonishing deeds! Nothing is as it seems...” These words spoken in the introductory scene by the ringmaster of an obscure but wonderful WWII Roman circus, could easily be used to announce the film – an entertaining tribute to diversity and a powerful kick to fascism of all shapes.
directed by Gabriele Mainetti, cast Aurora Giovinazzo, Claudio Santamaria, Pietro Castellitto, Giancarlo Martini, Giorgio Tirabassi, Max Mazzotta, Franz Rogowski

The French master absurdist Quentin Dupieux (Mandibles) pays homage to his idol with a playful and unpredictable “non-biography”, which demonstrates that Dalí’s greatest work of art was his personality. Here it is—the caaaaardinal and delicioooooous film that reveals a Dalí never before seen by the public, proving, if there is even need for proof, that Daaaaaalí is probably the only artist on this miserable little planet.
