Our friends at See It On 16mm are back to spool up another screening of John Waters’ infamous cult classic Pink Flamingos.
In a twisted contest to determine “the filthiest person alive,” underground icon Divine stars as a criminal anti-heroine living in a trailer with her oddball family, battling a pair of jealous rivals for the title. What follows is an unholy parade of crime, perversion, and pop-art anarchy that rewrote the rules of independent cinema—and left censors reeling.
After 50 year since its initial release, Pink Flamingos is filthier and funnier than ever. An exercise in bad taste or a masterpiece of transgressive art? We’ll let you decide!
