2006 USA. Dir. Jeff Garlin. John Waters. 86m. Not Rated. Presented Digitally.

Philosopher of filth and reigning king of bad taste, John Waters presents an outstanding live one-man show that celebrates his origins of trash with his signature brand of irreverent humor. Filmed live in Philadelphia*, this devilishly delectable monologue focuses on Waters's early introductions to the grotesque that influenced the groundbreaking filmmaker and author, continually magnifying his twisted contributions of creativity.

Update: I’ve seen it and it is quite entertaining. Much better than his past two movies, actually. He even cited my workplace as an example of people in this city being definitively trashy and ridiculous. After Baltimore, the film will move on to New York and San Francisco... the old Waters’ circuit.

*A misprint, apparently. Actually filmed at the Harry De Jur Playhouse in New York.
