John Waters reaches new heights of scuzzy sublimity in the Divine-starring fan favorite
Now on Blu-ray for the first time
Glamour has never been more grotesque than in Female Trouble, which injects the Hollywood melodrama with anarchic decadence. Divine, director John Waters’ larger-than-life muse, engulfs the screen with charisma as Dawn Davenport, the living embodiment of the film’s lurid mantra, “Crime is beauty,” who progresses from a teenage nightmare hell-bent on getting cha-cha heels for Christmas to a fame monster whose egomaniacal impulses land her in the electric chair. Shot in Waters’ native Baltimore on 16 mm, with a cast drawn from his beloved troupe of regulars, this film—the director’s favorite of his work with Divine—is an endlessly quotable fan favorite, Female Trouble offers up perverse pleasures that never fail to satisfy.
