The Secret World of Tod Browning, Hollywood's Master of the Macabre

Beschreibung

One of the most original and unsettling filmmakers of all time, Tod Browning (1880â 1962) began his career buried alive in a carnival sideshow and saw his Hollywood reputation crash with the box office disasterâ turnedâ cult classic Freaks. Penetrating the secret world of â the Edgar Allan Poe of the cinema,â Dark Carnival excavates the story of this complicated, fiercely private man.
