A celluloid atrocity!

Multiple Maniacs – John Waters January – Screening on January 19, 25!

Advance tickets now available for Multiple Maniacs!

Celluloid atrocity restored by the Criterion Collection and Janus Films from the original 16mm elements

“Restoration is an amazing thing. Finally, Multiple Maniacs looks like a bad John Cassavetes film! I couldn’t be more thrilled!” – John Waters

Made on a shoestring budget in Baltimore, with Waters taking on nearly every technical task, this gleeful mockery of the peace-and-love ethos of its era features the Cavalcade of Perversion, a traveling show put on by a troupe of misfits whose shocking proclivities are topped only by those of their leader: the glammer-than-glam, larger-than-life Divine, who’s out for blood after discovering her lovers affair.

5 Stars! “John Waters cuts to a deeper social quick than any other American filmmaker” (Cole Smithey)

5 Stars! “Multiple Maniacs is a helluva movie…It is, in its imperfect way, perfect.” (Metro)

“the ultimate fusing of arthouse and grindhouse” (Slant)

“gloriously grotesque…exhilarating, darkly funny” (The Globe & Mail)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

Lady Divine becomes enraged when her boyfriend cheats on her and descends into a life of murder and mayhem.
