Notes
This is perhaps John Water's most depraved movie -- Yet, there are some very funny scenes, and I did watch it all the way through -- But I also got the feeling that Waters was desperately trying to better his earlier trash films, Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble -- I also tired of being shouted at; every line was so (intentionally) overplayed that after a while I numbed.
