Desperate living

A John Waters-evening:


The title of this film is very apt as it tells the story about a rich, spoiled and hysteric housewife who involves her house maid in the killing of her husband.
The two women then leaves the house and being on the run from 'justice' they meet a number of very odd personalities, like the fetishistic police officer, transsexuals, a sexually 'perverted' 'queen' and others, who all turn their life up and down and offer many chances to reevaluate their view on life.
This not least when they arrive to Mortville, a community of homeless people where nothing functions as they are used to.
It's an absurd and hilarious film where we are weaved into the personal universe of John Waters!
