Roman Candles

Year: 1967

Runtime: 28 mins

Language: English

Director: John Waters

Comedy

A triple‑projected trash epic shot on 8 mm, it marks Divine’s screen debut and is John Waters’ second feature. The plotless collage strings together sex, drugs, religion and The Wizard of Oz, set to a chaotic soundtrack of obnoxious radio ads, rock ’n’ roll and press conferences with Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother. It played publicly three times but never received a commercial release.
