SCROLL DOWN FOR VISUAL STORY GUIDE
Dir. John Waters. USA 1970, 91 min, Cert 18
John Waters’ delightfully unhinged second feature focuses on a group of misfits led by Lady Divine’s grotesque and glamorous outsider. Upon uncovering her lover’s infidelity, Lady Divine’s quest for revenge entails a string of unholy events that test the limits of social norms. Finding favour with queer audiences and social outcasts, Multiple Maniacs’ subversion of good taste led to Waters being dubbed ‘the pope of trash’.
The film will be introduced by programmer and co-founder of Category H Film Club, Molly Miles. There will be a post-screening discussion where we will explore the film from a neurodiverse perspective.
Unfortunately there will be no Descriptive Subtitles and Audio Description for this screening.
