Pink Flamingos

Pink Flamingos

An exercise in poor taste.

Directed by John Waters

Produced by Dreamland

197293 min6.1 / 10

A deliberately transgressive, maximally obscene underground comedy that weaponizes shock value and depravity as both satire and spectacle.

Notorious Baltimore criminal and underground figure Divine goes up against Connie & Raymond Marble, a sleazy married couple who make a passionate attempt to humiliate her and seize her tabloid-given title as "The Filthiest Person Alive".
