Movie review - "Pink Flamingos" (1972) **

 Technically rough. Not much of a story. It dragged. Waters got better at filmmaking later. Retains power to shock and offend - Divine gives her son oral sex (a scene cut when I first saw it), there is rape with chickens. 

It drags in places. Great showmanship. Remarkable collection of grotesques. Plenty of influences. Divine is a genuine star. Edith Massey has magic as does Mink Stole.
