Description: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 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 in the ultimate expression of the film's lurid mantra, Crime is beauty. Shot in Baltimore on 16 mm, with a cast drawn from Waters beloved troupe of regulars, the Dreamlanders (including Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Edith Massey, and Cookie Mueller), this film, the director's favorite of his work with Divine, comes to life through the tinsel-toned vision of production designer Vincent Peranio and costume designer/makeup artist Van Smith. An endlessly quotable fan favorite, Female Trouble offers up perverse pleasures that never fail to satisfy.
"Female Trouble" arrives in stunning high definition on Blu-Ray, courtesy of Criterion, renowned for their meticulous restorations and authoritative film releases. This outrageous 1974 cult classic from director John Waters is a riotous exploration of crime, beauty, and fame through the twisted lens of Baltimore?s underground scene. The story follows Dawn Davenport?played by the legendary Divine?in her transformation from rebellious teen to criminal icon. Packed with shocking humor and unforgettable performances, "Female Trouble" remains a landmark in transgressive cinema. Criterion Collection stands as one of the most respected names in home video distribution, celebrated for curating significant films from around the world with unmatched attention to detail. Their editions often include restored visuals and soundtracks alongside insightful extras that deepen appreciation for each work. The cast is led by Divine (Harris Glenn Milstead), an iconic drag performer whose collaborations with Waters redefined queer representation on screen; his roles in "Pink Flamingos," "Polyester," and "Hairspray" are legendary. Director John Waters is hailed as ?the Pope of Trash,? known for pushing boundaries with films like "Desperate Living" and later mainstream successes such as "Cry-Baby." Mink Stole brings her signature eccentricity to every role across multiple Waters projects including "Serial Mom." Edith Massey?s unique presence became synonymous with this era?s subversive filmmaking.
