 Rated 5 out of 5!
two works of art
female troubles is waters’’ masterpiece. this film (with desperate living) ranks as one of the great art films of all time right alongside dreyer’’s passion of joan of arc, bunuel’’s belle de jour, welles’’ citizen kane, and cocteau’’s orphee. waters here produced somethin akin to nothing before it and that should be said of all great art. Rated 4 out of 5
He’’s Original, You Gotta Give Him That
It is what it is, and you certainly don’’t have to like it(Roger Ebert sure hates Pink Flamingos, but what does he know? He liked Star Kid). John Waters is truly a love him or hate him guy, especially where his old films are concerned. If you’’ve never seen this, take my advice: Don’’t watch it with anyone prudish(unless it’’s for revenge), watch it with a sick freaky person like yourself. This is the kind of film that you like to watch with people to see their reactions, but you probably won’’t watch it alot on your own-very much like Caligula. Remember, Waters isn’’t afraid to show you anything and nothing is sacred to him. There are at least two scenes in Pink Flamingos that will be tattooed in your brain till the day you die(for better or worse), so be prepared. This film is labeled a comedy, but that’’s all a matter of taste. I know people who DO NOT think this film is funny, but very sick and disturbing. You gotta understand that it’’s all meant for laughs, but many aren’’t gonna agree with that, Bubba. Female Trouble is a little more toned down than Pink Flamingos, but not much! The Farrelly Brothers seem to be in the spotlight for grossout humor, but they have a long way to go before they can even begin to outgross the king of grossout. These two films are the proof of that.- Rated 4 out of 5
a movie brimming with cinematic firsts !
A guy, a girl , a chicken & a toolshed. Sounds like a deranged version of "Three’’s company". After watching this movie, Jerry Springer will seem like wholesome entertainment. How much you enjoy this may depend on your mood & what you had for supper.
Of course, the guy with the flexible sphincter in the party scene still makes me cringe. I would like to play this movie at a nun convention & see what happens :) Excellent soundtrack !!!
