John Waters injects the Hollywood melodrama with anarchic decadence in FEMALE TROUBLE. Divine, Waters’ larger-than-life muse, engulfs the screen with charisma as Dawn Davenport, the living embodiment of the film’s lurid mantra, “Crime is beauty,” 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. – The Criterion Collection1974 • dir John Waters w/Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey, Cookie Mueller • 89 min • DCP
