Synopsis

The life and times of Baltimore film maker and midnight movie pioneer, John Waters. Intercut with a 1972 interview of Waters are clips from his first films and recent interviews with his parents, his brother, Divine’s mom, actors and crew, other directors, film critics, a film curator, psychologists, and Maryland’s last censor, who shudders at the memory of Waters’s pictures. Also included is footage of Waters making his early movies, culminating in an up-close and in-depth look at Pink Flamingos: the script, the set, the filming conditions, its editing, its distribution, and its impact. In sweet ways, this documentary is also a celebration of Divine (1945-1988). —IMDb

No soy fan de los documentales, pero cuando el objeto de estudio es el cine o el cineasta la verdad que mi percepción cambia. Este en particular es sobre la primera etapa de la filmografía de John Waters, culminando con Pink Flamingos. Un excelente documento para acercase a la obra de Waters. Sería genial que esto tuviese una continuación (¿pero cuantos documentales tienen una?, es una buena pregunta de hecho).
