Join us for John Waters’ notorious 1972 cult classic, starring the inimitable Divine as a self-proclaimed queen of filth competing in a grotesque rivalry for the title of “the filthiest person alive.” Waters uses camp, drag, and excess to expose the hypocrisy of moral respectability and the performative nature of celebrity. Outrageous, rebellious, and defiantly disgusting, Pink Flamingos, part of Waters’ Trash Trilogy, remains a radical statement and an important chapter in movie history. In 2021, the Library of Congress selected “Pink Flamingos” for preservation in the US National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
Lip Sync for your life! Pre-movie karaoke in the cafe. Plus, enjoy a cocktail and dress as Divine as you dare or your finest drag attire – prizes for best look!
Rated NC-17. This 35mm presentation is part of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.
