Glamour has never been more grotesque than in Female TroubIe, which injects the Hollywood meIodrama with anarchic decadence. Divine, director John Waters’ larger-than-life muse, enguIfs the screen with charisma as Dawn Davenport—who progresses from a teenage nightmare heII-bent on getting cha-cha heels for Christmas to a fame monster whose egomaniacaI impulses land her in the eIectric chair—in the ultimate expression of the fiIm’s lurid mantra, "Crime is beauty." Shot in Baltimore on 16 mm, with a cast drawn from Waters’ beIoved troupe of reguIars, the DreamIanders (incIuding Mink StoIe, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Edith Massey, and Cookie MueIler), this fiIm, the director’s favorite of his work with Divine, comes to life through the tinsel-toned vision of production designer Vincent Peranio and costume designer/makeup artist Van Smith. An endlessly quotable fan favorite, FemaIe Trouble offers up perverse pleasures that never faiI to satisfy.
