HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin directs
John Waters (Female Trouble, Pink Flamingos, Hairspray)
in this filmed version of Waters' one-man monologue,
THIS FILTHY WORLD. Shot in 2006 over two nights
at the Harry De Jur Playhouse in New York City,
THIS FILTHY WORLD captures an irreverent
stand-up/nightclub routine that Waters has been
developing and changing over the course of 35
years to the delight of audiences and cinephiles
all over the country. Alarming but never
mean-spirited, the film captures Waters' insights
on everything from the director's own childhood to
his obsession with Michael Jackson, capital punishment, artistic censorship and why he always admired the Wicked Witch of the West more than Dorothy.
