In Odorama!
United States | 1981 | John Waters
The first movie shot in “Odorama” (free scratch and sniff cards will be handed out to ticket buyers), John Waters’ “scentsational” bad-taste comedy stars Divine as Baltimore housewife Francine Fishpaw. Francine—who has a philandering pornographer husband, a pregnant daughter, and a fetishist son who may be the “Baltimore foot stomper”—is understandably at the end of her rope. But hope arrives in the form of a handsome, Corvette-driving hunk (Tab Hunter). With Edith Massey, Mink Stole, and Stiv Bators.
86 min. 35mm.
Special admission $10; members, CIA I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8; no passes, twofers, or radio winners. Shown as part of “Scalarama—A Celebration of Cinema,” which takes place during September at multiple venues across the UK and around the world. Visit scalarama.com for more info. John Waters’ 1988 film Hairspray shows at 7:30 pm on 9/22 at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets are $6, and Cinematheque members who show their card at the concession stand receive a free 32-oz. popcorn.
