Product Description "This filthy world its a beautiful place, isnt it?" -- John Waters Dubbed "the Pope of Trash" and branded "O for Offensive" by the Catholic Church, filmmaker John Waters made his bad reputation by turning bad taste into high art. In THIS FILTHY WORLD, the writer-director of such cult classics as MULTIPLE MANIACS, PINK FLAMINGOS, POLYESTHER and HAIRSPRAY addresses a live theater audience in a hilarious and completely uncensored one-man-show. Part confession, part Vaudeville act, THIS FILTHY WORLD takes on such taboo topics as pedophilia, gay marriage and drug use while Waters waxes rhapsodic on the joys of saying inappropriate things to children. Directed by Jeff Garlin (CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT), THIS FILTHY WORLD also features the exclusive ON THE ROAD featurette produced by David Gregory. Watch as John Waters sits down in his home and discusses his life and career. Bonus Features Include: John Waters Q and A John Waters: On The Road Review He's doing it for the children --The Hollywood ReporterA surefire laugh riot --Variety

Definitely one of a kind!
If anyone desires to know John Waters as a director, complete with a glimpse into his life growing up in Baltimore, this is indeed your best bet. John's desire to surprise vs shock people and have them confront their blind devotion to conventionality is discussed in this one-man show with humor, wit, and blazing intellect. He will have you squirming and laughing at the same time, but you will come away from the experience definitely knowing the true measure of the man. In addition, the extras on the DVD include an at-home interview where you'll meet Bill, his "son," as well as a question and answer period following his performance. A must-have for any John Waters fan!

Must for John Waters Fans!
I enjoyed the JOHN WATERS: THIS FILTHY WORLD dvd. Part story telling--part stand-up comedy, Waters discuses the inspiration behind his movies, his relationship with cast members Divine and Edith Massey(among others), and why he got into film making in the first place.Funny, intelligent, and off-the-wall John Waters is as colorful as his movies and he'll keep you entertained for the 86 minutes he's on stage.For special features there's a lengthy Q&A with the audience.

Brilliant content and delivery!
If you are easily offended, don't watch John Waters: This Filthy World. If, on the other hand, you revel in delightful offensiveness, do not miss John Waters: This Filthy World. The stories about his parents, neighbors, fellow actors and more kept me hanging on his every word.The first time I saw a John Waters' film, I turned to my friend and stated, "I don't know who this guy is, but I can tell you he went to Catholic school." Well, as it turns out, I was absolutely correct. His reaction to the Church's comments about him just about made me choke with laughter.Everything about John Waters is just so genuine that you can't help but like him.

Sickeningly good
Fabulously unhinged and decidedly warped. How I miss his muse, Divine.

More Stand Up than lecture
This DVD is suppose to be a lecture about the life and works about the infamous film director, John Waters.I have only seen John Waters on interviews and had a passing knowledge of his films. While watching interviews I always found him a funny and witty man. I bought the DVD and kept my fingers crossed that the same sense of humour would be transfer over. I shouldn't have worried, John tells the story about his childhood and his fascination with showbiz and movies; which continues to the struggles of making movies and the interesting characters he has meet on the way.For a film director, he does come across as a funny and charismatic story teller which would make the best stand ups green with envy.
