Female Trouble (1974) - Blu-ray Forum

Glamour has never been more grotesque than in Female Trouble, which injects the Hollywood melodrama with anarchic decadence. Divine, director John Waters’ larger-than-life muse, engulfs the screen with charisma as Dawn Davenport—who progresses from a teenage nightmare hell-bent on getting cha-cha heels for Christmas to a fame monster whose egomaniacal impulses land her in the electric chair—in the ultimate expression of the film’s lurid mantra, “Crime is beauty.” Shot in Baltimore on 16 mm, with a cast drawn from Waters’ beloved troupe of regulars, the Dreamlanders (including Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Edith Massey, and Cookie Mueller), this film, the director’s favorite of his work with Divine, comes to life through the tinsel-toned vision of production designer Vincent Peranio and costume designer/makeup artist Van Smith. An endlessly quotable fan favorite, Female Trouble offers up perverse pleasures that never fail to satisfy.

Yay! Hilarious movie with the beloved Edith Massey and Divine.

demonknight · 02-14-2018, 04:57 AM

I personally think that this is Waters’ best movie. My friends quote it on a near daily basis.

BluCollector13 · 02-14-2018, 05:00 AM

Oh thank God on "Polyester"; hoping it includes Odorama cards.

dallywhitty · 02-14-2018, 05:06 AM

I really need to see more John Waters films. Serial Mom is hilarious.

Because PINK FLAMINGOS is coming from Warner Archive?

There is the legitimate chance it may get a Criterion release, considering...

1. Warner has licensed out numerous titles to Criterion, including the two mentioned in this thread.

2. Pink Flamingos got a Criterion release on laserdisc.

bigshot · 02-14-2018, 05:41 AM

Hooray for this news!

GasmaskAvenger · 02-14-2018, 05:42 AM

I have a feeling the restoration process of Pink Flamingos is going to be quite intricate, hence why its taking so long to come out.

Warner just rereleased the DVD Through Warner Archive a few months ago. Probably won’t be happening for a while.

Now THIS is exciting news.

Not so exciting about the facts in front of us about Pink Flamingoes, but Female Trouble AND Polyester from Criterion! BRING 'EM ON!

BluLamp · 02-14-2018, 03:05 PM

Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels!

Smegma · 02-14-2018, 03:29 PM

Easily in the top 3, if not top 2, best Waters films.

Boggle · 02-14-2018, 03:55 PM

Awesome news, but do you think they'll be able to use the original soundtrack? Or will we get something like what they did to Multiple Maniacs.

Ruemorgue10 · 02-14-2018, 04:11 PM

Break out the cha cha heels, folks!

bornthisway · 02-14-2018, 04:25 PM

I am ecstatic for more John Waters on Bluray! I still routinely watch his OOP Very Crudely Yours DVD boxset, bought almost 10 years ago for $22 on Ebay, easily the best investment in my home media catalogue.

It should have the same soundtrack as the 2001 Director's Cut release. Those songs were officially licensed.

I've only seen the film theatrically. Is the 2001 soundtrack substantially different from the original release?

chriskl99 · 02-14-2018, 08:58 PM

So happy right now.

dissention · 02-14-2018, 09:14 PM

I'm so excited, I put on my cha cha heels!

Can we get Desperate Living, please? Easily my favorite John Waters.
