Review of Polyester (1981) by Harry W — 23 Aug 2015
My personal favorite John Waters film. It is just subversive enough, but never so much so that I have to cringe. This would be Waters' last entry in Midnight Movies -- and this time he secured an R Rating and some assistance from Debbie Harry and Bill Murray for the theme song!
This is a sort of twisted "John Waters' Love Letter to Douglas Sirk. And it is hilarious.
Divine is "Francine Fishpaw" and she is having a seriously bad time as a devoted housewife, mother, daughter and friend. And it is all presented in "Odorama!".
Not to be missed!
