If you loved Freaks Out, try They Call Me Jeeg

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Gabriele Mainetti, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Freaks Out, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What They Call Me Jeeg is

Rome, a polluted waterfront, a barrel of toxic sludge. A petty thief gains superhuman strength, a young girl's anime fantasies blur with reality. Mainetti reimagines the hero genre through Enzo's unlikely transformation.
