This is one of John Waters’ earlier films, and probably second only to Multiple Maniacs in terms of sheer weirdness.

Mink Stole (the world’s only female drag queen) stars as a rich shrieking housewife who one day murders her husband and sets off in a stolen car with her maidservant. Eventually they encounter Mortville, a shantytown of outlaw Lesbians, where they can hide from the law. Edith Massey plays the camp’s Evil Ruler, Queen Carlotta, who enslaves the Lesbians and keeps a harem of fishnet-clad young men for her personal pleasure.

Mink succumbs to the romantic advances of her maidservant, but eventually her feelings of guilt and shame bring an end to her lesbian exploits. She turns against her new friends and hatches a scheme to take control of Mortville.

Carlotta decides that it would be a good idea to infect the Lesbians with rabies, and Mink strikes a deal: her life in exchange for her help on the project. Eventually Mink and the Evil Queen engage in a Joseph Campbell-esque struggle for power.

If you’re a butch Lesbian, or love someone who is, you’ll love this film.
