Through an alphabetical journey through his thematic and formal obsessions, the book systematizes the work of a director who challenged the limits of good taste with humor, irreverence, and transgression. An essential tool for understanding the legacy of a creator who transformed trash into art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the complete career of John Waters, from his first films in the seventies, such as \u003cem\u003eMultiple Maniacs\u003c\/em\u003e (1970) and \u003cem\u003ePink Flamingos\u003c\/em\u003e (1972), to his most recent titles. The work organizes the analysis around an A to Z dictionary that collects the director's thematic and formal constants: his troupe of loyal actors and actresses such as Divine, Mink Stole, or Patricia Hearst; his particular sense of humor; and his ability to push the limits of what is permitted on the big screen. In addition, it includes contributions from critics, researchers, and filmmakers such as Valeria Vegas, Adrián Silvestre, and Javier Parra, who provide different perspectives on the work of this cult cinema icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican underground cinema and trash culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExhaustive analysis of John Waters' filmography (1970-2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eQueer iconography and transgression in cult cinema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of Divine and the director's regular troupe of actors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEvolution of bad taste as a cinematic aesthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at cinephiles interested in independent and cult cinema, film and audiovisual communication students who want to delve into the work of John Waters, fans of queer cinema and counterculture, and any reader curious to discover how trash cinema has become a reference for contemporary pop culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this book provides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe first systematization in Spanish of John Waters' thematic and formal obsessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA choral analysis with the perspectives of various specialists and creators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn alphabetical guide that facilitates consultation and study of his filmography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical and cultural context to understand the evolution of underground cinema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA rigorous but accessible look at a director usually treated from an anecdotal perspective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Various Authors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Editorial Dos Bigotes SL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Spanish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Film, television, and radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: DOS BIGOTES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: February 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of pages: 260\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 463 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEditorial assessment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA necessary work that fills a bibliographical gap in Spanish regarding one of the most influential directors of cult cinema.
