It was the turd that shocked the world—deemed “grotesque,” “hilarious” and “the sickest movie ever made,” there had been nothing like Pink Flamingos upon its explosive 1972 release, and 50 years later, there likely won’t be anything like it again. Rejoice and repulse in John Waters’ queer, classic film that put Divine on the map as “the filthiest person in the world,” and helped define camp as we know it. With a Criterion DVD forthcoming in June, Pink Flamingos is proof that one man’s trash really can be a cult audience’s treasure.


A Divine Double Bill:  No one bent social and gender norms quite like drag icon Divine. This Pride month, celebrate the larger-than-life queer icon with a double bill featuring the critically acclaimed documentary I Am Divine.
