Pink Flamingos

1972 / 93m - USA
Comedy, Crime
2.5*/5.0*

John Waters' cult film is worthy of the label. It's not a roaring success and some scenes leave a rather bad aftertaste, while others are funny, weird, or both. It's a pretty messy affair and the presentation leaves a little to be desired, but if you like oddball cinema, it's definitely worth a shot.

Waters demonstrates he is smart enough to make a funny, grotesque film without becoming too crass or vulgar, so the scenes with animal cruelty and poo-eating feel pretty out of place, even in a film about people aspiring to be filthy. Take those away and you'd have had a better movie, but even with them included, there's still enough to enjoy.
