CineBad!!!

Someone told you that John Waters is cool and you want to see all his films! If only you could see all of John Waters’ films, then you would be a fascinating, intelligent person who would act hip at parties. Well, feel free to skip this John Waters film!

This highly irritating work of cinema is a good ol’ fashioned tale of redemption, shot entirely in black and white and without dialogue. Although the plot holds together pretty well (considering the lack of dialogue) and there are some pretty precious scenes (such as when Divine gets a visit from the Blessed Virgin Mary at the laundromat) the incredibly disjointed and repetitive soundtrack (consisting of a bunch of highly mutilated rockabilly songs) made it really hard for me to enjoy this film. It probably also didn’t help that I was drinking bad wine at the time, which made me sick.

John, if you’re reading this, it doesn’t mean that I love you any less.
