“Beverly is the kind of matron who would profess to be disgusted by a John Waters movie while secretly relishing every cathartic moment.” – New York Times
“The film recalls David Lynch’s Blue Velvet in the way darkness lurks just below the surface of sunny suburbia. But Waters, bless him, would rather be playful than profound.” – Rolling Stone
FACETS Film Ed Dept Trivia is back with our classic brand of infotainment quiz show fun, followed up by an after-trivia screening of John Waters’ campy black comedy, Serial Mom (1994).
A picture perfect middle class family is shocked when they find out that one of their neighbors is receiving obscene phone calls. The mom takes slights against her family very personally, and it turns out she is indeed the one harassing the neighbor. As other slights befall her beloved family, the body count begins to increase.
Serial Mom is a quirky, sharp satire on television tropes, family sitcoms, true crime films, and the viewers of film themselves. Serial Mom comments on our absurd obsession with serial murderers and Turner delivers a killer performance. John Waters directs and Sam Waterston, Matthew Lillard and Ricki Lake also star.
John Waters, USA, 1994, 95 mins
