Johann, darkly handsome and manipulative, is a turn of the 20th Century St Petersburg pornographer, peddling images of bare-bottomed floggings. He and his snaggle-toothed assistant Victor, worm their way into the lives of two wealthy families, manipulating adopted Siamese twins Kolja and Tolja and the delicately beautiful Lisa as subjects for his erotic films.
Filmed in sepia tone, 'Of Freaks and Men' is visually rich with a crackling eerie soundtrack. It lays bare a preoccupation with sexuality welling beneath the austere trappings of the Russian bourgeoisie and provides an entrancing and thrilling tale.
