ITS SCENTSATIONAL!For his first studio picture, filth maestro John Waters took advantage of his biggest budget yet to allow his muse, Divine, to sink his teeth into a role unlike any he had played before: Baltimore housewife Francine Fishpaw, a heroine worthy of a Douglas Sirk melodrama. Blessed with a keen sense of smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband, a parasitic mother, and a pair of delinquent children, the long-suffering Francine turns to the bottle as her life falls apartuntil deliverance appears in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow (vintage heartthrob Tab Hunter). One of Waters most hilarious inventions, POLYESTER is replete with stomach-churning smells, sadistic nuns, AA meetings, and foot stomping galore.Each attendee will get an official Odorama card at the door in order to smell along with the movie. With Odorama, smelling is believing!Part of the Grand Illusions Summer Camp series at Here-After.Its a very funny [movie], with a hip, stylized humor that extends beyond the usual limitations of [Mr. Waterss] outlook. Janet Maslin, The New York Times
