All summer long celebrate the artistry of three legendary filmmakers: John Waters, Vincente Minnelli, and Elia Kazan- on the big screen!Cry Baby (1990) - July 12
John Waters' riotous rock 'n' roll rebel yell, crashes through 1950s conformity with a wink and a sneer. Starring Johnny Depp as the irresistible bad boy Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, this cult musical flips the bird to clean-cut America with its wild mix of greasers, juvenile delinquents, and electrifying tunes. Waters turns teenage rebellion into a candy-colored carnival of kitsch and chaos, where tears and leather jackets rule the day. "Cry-Baby" is a gleeful ode to the outcasts, drenched in Waters' signature camp and subversive charm, making it a timeless anthem for anyone who's ever felt deliciously different.
John Waters
John Waters, the fearless provocateur of cinema, drenches his films in a gleeful anarchy that flips the bird to mainstream sensibilities. Known as the Pope of Trash, Waters revels in the outrageous and the grotesque, blending camp, kitsch, and a subversive humor that's as sharp as a switchblade. His films, from the notorious "Pink Flamingos" to the cult classic "Hairspray," celebrate the bizarre and the beautiful misfits of society, turning bad taste into an art form. With a penchant for shock value and a love for the fringe, Waters' style is a punk rock assault on the polished facade of Hollywood.
