About this Event

A Dirty Shame (2004) - August 9


John Waters' outrageously racy romp, explodes onto the screen with a heady mix of sexual liberation and bawdy humor. Starring Tracey Ullman as Sylvia Stickles, a repressed housewife turned insatiable sex addict after a bump on the head, this film is a no-holds-barred celebration of carnal chaos. Waters revels in the taboo, turning small-town America into a playground of primal urges and gleeful debauchery. With its audacious antics and unfiltered cheekiness, "A Dirty Shame" is a gloriously filthy love letter to the pursuit of pleasure, reminding us that Waters is the fearless provocateur who dares to laugh in the face of propriety.


John Waters

John Waters, the fearless provocateur of cinema, drenches his films in a gleeful anarchy that flips the bird to mainstream sensibilities. Known as the Pope of Trash, Waters revels in the outrageous and the grotesque, blending camp, kitsch, and a subversive humor that's as sharp as a switchblade. His films, from the notorious "Pink Flamingos" to the cult classic "Hairspray," celebrate the bizarre and the beautiful misfits of society, turning bad taste into an art form. With a penchant for shock value and a love for the fringe, Waters' style is a punk rock assault on the polished facade of Hollywood.
