Polyester movie poster, 1981
A movie that originally hit the big screen 43 years ago is getting dusted off for a revival of sorts, and the people hosting the event in Calgary hope it really stinks.Polyester movie poster from 1981. Filmgoers will get a chance to experience Odorama when the John Waters film is screened Thursday at the Globe Cinema in Calgary. A movie that originally hit the big screen 43 years ago is getting dusted off for a revival of sorts, and the people hosting the event hope it really stinks.
"The smells of hot dogs are such a visceral scent. It brings you back, it makes your mouth water, right? That's what this movie is trying to get across. It is trying to trigger those smell emotions. First you see it, then you hear it, now you smell it."And triggered is what a self-described John Waters' superfan says she was after first experiencing Waters, but in a good way."It was just so gross, it was so filthy. It was like nothing I had seen before.
"We are expecting shock and humour. Humour that doesn't land with everybody but a perverse humour that pokes fun at itself and the content it's presenting. I tell friends to view John Waters through a comedic lens. Some of the stuff can come off as offensive, but it's meant to be poking fun at people that are committing the offence.""The film opens up with a scientist named Arnold Quackenshaw. He describes what Odorama is," Estabrooks explained.
