Desperate Living
After murdering her husband, a rich housewife finds herself with her overweight maid in the town of Mortville - a sort of Land of Oz for the criminally insane, ruled over by the tyrannical Queen Carlotta (Edith Massey).

The last of John Waters' legendary 'trash trilogy' (which also includes Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble), Desperate Living is classic pre-punk punk, full of homicidal lesbians, perverted cops and plenty more to boot.

Don't miss this rare screening of John Waters' exploitation classic.
