Review of Desperate Living (1977) by David A — 17 Aug 2010

I''ve been watching this one for years. It is certainly my favorite ex-aequo with Mondo trasho. The sad thing: Divine does not appear in it for he was on tour at the moment. But still, how about an unforgettable ride in Mortville, village of idiots, refuge of all the criminals on the run and where you'll meet neurotic husband-killer Peggy Gravel with her 300lbs lesbian nurse and a bunch of gay leather men, nudists, a former female boxer who gets a sex change and her lover the "dog food murderer" all living for and servicing the evil and twisted overweight Queen Carlotta's dark ambitions.

Certainly the most entertaining fairy tale ever filmed and a beautiful story of the war of the lesbians against the social climbers. Thank you John, you're my best!
