Review of Pink Flamingos (1976) by Matt B — 17 Nov 2007

A nasty, disgusting, and unpleasant experience to sit-through. It's really quite awful. However, the film accomplishes something. I'm not sure exactly what, but there's something about this film that is kind of cool.

I think it may have something to do with the fact that the viewer can sense that the people working on the film had a fun time making it. The acting, directing, script, and set pieces simply are all atrocious.

But it's all so gleefully atrocious that in it's own sick little way, the film works. That's good, because if it didn't I'd hate it. But because I don't hate it, I'm recommending it to people who jut want to see something twisted and messed up and nothing else.

It's a cult classic.
