I highly recommend I am Divine, a 2013 documentary on the superstar of 1970s and 80s trash-glam-gay-cinema culture Divine, best known as the muse of director John Waters and formidable iconic figure in such films as Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, and Polyester. Divine also achieved considerable success in drag revues in SF, off-Broadway productions in NYC, and recorded disco hits that topped the UK pop charts. The charismatic artist who was born Harris Glenn Milstead in Baltimore, Maryland is given full-scale star bio treatment here by director Jeffrey Schwartz. Divine’s dark humour and immense energy infuses the totality of this homage.
