John Waters Pope of Trash

By Barry Jenkings, Bruce LaBruce, Cindy Sherman, Debbie Harry et al

A colorful celebration of the work of subversive auteur John Waters

Known for pushing the boundaries of good taste, John Waters has created a canon of high-shock-value, high-entertainment movies that have cemented his position as one of the most revered filmmakers in American independent cinema. Featuring misfit muses and tributes to his hometown of Baltimore, John Waters: Pope of Trash accompanies a landmark exhibition at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the first dedicated solely to Waters’ films. The book presents costumes, props, handwritten scripts, concept drawings, correspondence, promotional gimmicks, production photography and other original materials from all the filmmaker’s features and shorts.
