![]() One could say that this movie is the Credence Clearwater Revival of films. Unless you have an especially open family, we don't recommend watching this one with parents or kids. Leads include the great Divine, Mink Stole, Edith Massey, and John Waters himself as the narrator. Highlights of this delightful film include a black market baby ring, a fierce competition to be 'the filthiest person in the world,' the murder and cannibalization of some local police, and one of the cleverest and most unnerving purse snatching scams anyone has ever heard of. ![]() ![]() Sounds fun, right? It, like most of Waters's work, has garnered consistently strong reviews and a healthy cultish fan following. Pink Flamingos is an unexpected black comedy with a crime story wedged in-between the celebration of perversion and hedonism. But if you aren't getting enough transsexual cinema in your regular life, Waters is the filmmaker for you. If you're sexually repressed, homophobic, or just don't like Divine, you might want to avoid his work altogether (except for Serial Mom). The films of John Waters aren't for everyone.
