Following the unrepentant outrageousness of Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble, director John Waters brought his notorious trash trilogy to a fittingly twisted close with this antifascist fairy tale. After hysterical housewife Peggy Gravel (Mink Stole) murders her husband with the help of her fed-up housekeeper (Jean Hill), the newfound “sisters in crime” escape to the bizarro shantytown of Mortville, a depraved penal colony presided over by a despotic queen (Edith Massey) whose tyranny pushes her subjects to shocking revolt. Deviant cops, death by dog food, DIY surgery—Waters unleashes all this and more in an at once relentlessly warped and oddly moral vision of queer rebellion.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director John Waters, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring Waters and actor Liz RenayOptional Italian dub trackNew conversation between Waters and film programmer Cristina CacioppoBack to Mortville, a tour of the film’s main Baltimore location, led by WatersNew interview with actors Susan Lowe, Mary Vivian Pearce, and Mink StoleInterview with production designer Vincent PeranioTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Grace ByronCover based on an original theatrical poster featuring photography by Peter Hujar
