About the film
Infamous drag queen Divine stars in this quintessential 1972 classic from writer-director John Waters that tells the story of Babs Johnson, an illustrious criminal known as “the filthiest person alive!” When two lesser hoodlums take it upon themselves to try and outdo Babs, the grotesquerie, bizarre-ness, crudity, and sadistic sensationalism rise to levels that only Waters could have the guts to put on film!
This self-proclaimed “exercise in poor taste” may not be for the squeamish, but this film put John Waters on the map in terms of a filmmaker willing to push the boundaries of the artform and became a cornerstone of the “abject art” movement. If you’re brave enough to make it to the end, you’ll definitely leave with the knowledge that you just witnessed something unique in all of cinematic history!
