"One must remember that there is such a thing as good bad taste and bad bad taste." — John Waters

In our series, John Waters: Divine Filth, we'll be exploring the stories behind Waters' early films, specifically the films made during the years when he collaborated with his muse, the legendary drag performer Divine.

During the nearly two decades that they made films together, Waters' films moved from the fringes, with underground short films like HAG IN A BLACK LEATHER JACKET and EAT YOUR MAKEUP, to the multiplexes, with their mainstream breakthrough HAIRSPRAY.

Over the course of this series, we’ll take deep dives into the stories behind the creation each and every film made during this period, one movie at a time.
