Here are three more of John Waters's most popular screenplays, for the first time in print, including an original introduction by Waters and dozens of fun film stills. John Waters, the writer and director of these movies, is a legendary filmmaker whose films occupy their own niche in cinema history. His muse and leading lady was Divine - a 300-pound transvestite who could eat dog shit in one scene and break your heart in the next. In "Hairspray" a plump teenager, played by Ricki Lake, and her big-hearted hairdresser mother, played by Divine, teach 1962 Baltimore about race relations by integrating a local TV dance show. "Female Trouble" is a coming-of-age story gone terribly awry: Dawn Davenport, progresses from loving schoolgirl to crazed mass murderer destined for the electric chair - all because her parents wouldn't buy her cha-cha heels for Christmas. In "Multiple Maniacs", dubbed by Waters a "celluloid atrocity," the travelling sideshow "Lady Divine's Cavalcade of Perversions" is actually a front for a group of psychotic kidnappers, with Lady Divine herself the most vicious and depraved of all, but her life changes after she gets raped by a fifteen-foot lobster.

John Waters Scripts
21. September 2008

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book captures the written screenplay to 3 more of John Waters films. They read great if you are into his films and will find yourself laughing and wanting to see the films again. Only major complaint: the addition of Hairspray in this book is so out of place. The script for Polyester should have been chosen instead as it is much more of that period of his work than the famiily movie Hairspray.
