A new high in low taste! After five long years the Pope of Trash is back at Shockproof! In his follow-up to the notorious Pink Flamingos, trash-cinema auteur John Waters together with his formidable muse Divine tells the epic tale of Dawn Davenport. She starts as a teenage runaway when her parents refuse to buy her the cha-cha heels she wants for Christmas. And so off she goes to begin a life of crime and debauchery. Female Trouble continues Waters’ crusade against boredom, good taste and mediocrity in all its forms, and is often hailed as his magnum opus. Consistently funny, unrelentingly perverse and obnoxious, it is a cinematic bildungsroman, with all emphasis on the “dung.” It is also Waters’ last film to feature his entire original ensemble of actors, the legendary Dreamlanders. This is John Waters at the top of his twisted game, and we would not have it any other way!
