John Waters' last feature film, A Dirty Shame, underwhelmed audiences and critics at the time, but Ceilidhann argues that its sex-positive silliness remains sharply relevant:
seldom get their dues and are written off as inessential Waters. This is also the fate that has befallen, the 2004 comedy that remains his last feature film. It’s frequently dismissed as his worst film, as watered-down Waters. Not only is it still underrated 18 years later, it feels as sharply relevant to our time as it did its own age.
Seeking joy in the face of such harmful scorn has, alas, never stopped being relevant. It’s tough to ignore how hostile things have gotten in recent years for LGBTQ+ people. Nationwide attacks on queer and trans kids have led to right-wingers creating oppressive legislation and regurgitating decades’ old rhetoric of shame and danger.
And the sex is good! Waters has never been so sex-positive. Here, every fetish is welcomed by someone, accepted as perfectly normal as long as it’s done consensually and with nobody getting hurt . Waters also stresses that none of these acts are new. Maybe you’ve never met someone who’s into frottage, but it’s as common as muck in reality.
