It doesn't go as far with breaking taboos as his earlier films and was the last project he did before breaking into some fun mainstream movies, but John Waters has created as vivid a world as ever before or since in Desperate Living . It's his self proclaimed fairy tale complete with disgusting fairybook villains. I've always found John Waters to be sentimental at heart, which is why Desperate Living might possibly cross over with fans who aren't as interested in his more experimental movies at the start of his career. If you enjoy twisted fairy tales, you may want to give this one a look. Really, it is.
