Multiple Maniacs

“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!
