John Waters Q&A | 'Female Trouble' 

Very kind of the interviewer to have rolled out of bed for this.

There are few in the world as charming as John Waters.

the interviewer is a real genius.... he gestures with the mic so you can't hear a word he says. Probably just as well.

Dawn Davenport destroying the christmas tree because she didn't get her cha cha heels, the mom laying under the tree going "not on Christmas, not on Christmas". "im afraid rats are going to come out and bite my new nylons", I mean some of the lines are just classic.

Did the interviewer just wake up five minutes before showtime?

John just seems like one of the most genuinely happy people. And if he isn't then he clearly looks for the best out of even the most fucked up situation.

I agree this Interview-er almost sabotaged the interview. As ever John Waters..saves it

Remember: He cut that line in the Christmas scene when Dawn's mother said "You're breaking my heart", and Dawn quips "you're lucky it's not your neck". Pure comedy and such a pity it was dropped .

I discovered Devine in the last year and although I grew up seeing fragments of the work ( I’m 54) I’m feeling like I missed out on enjoying it in real time, but it’s cinema so we have it forever, now I’m eating up all I can find.

The movie is iconic. I loved Mink Stole. Of course, Divine was supremely superb. Loved Edith Massey.

I wish Waters would make another movie

Just watched this trash classic again yesterday....Divine was totally bonkers playing both male & female roles, and so were many of the cast 😄 Dawn Davenport's star-making "performance art" kept me in stitches!

Cookie Mueller is always my favorite Dreamlander. Love you Cookie!!! ❤ All of them were fantastic!

Yeah watched Female Trouble for the first time last night, definitely in the top 5 best movies I've ever seen

It was really nice of the Film Lincoln Center to have a corpse interviewing John Waters.

Female Trouble is his funniest movie

John is such a cool, and interesting person.

This Interveiwer is HOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRIIIIIBBBBLLLEEE!!!

Thank You Thank You for posting this 😀😀😀😀

They don't talk about Female Trouble that much! Wow....

thank you for this!

The audio is horrendous.

This is a tad bit painful to watch. John looks so at ease. The interviewer looks extremely out of his element and uncomfortable. He asks John questions and isn't even looking in his direction.

John Waters .................my Idol.

Female Trouble is one of the four greatest movies of all time! The others are A Christmas Carol(Alistair Sim) 1950, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Brokeback Mountain!

This guy seemed like he didn't want to be there.

Yall so mean

My dream was to meet John Waters I want to learn from Mr. Waters so I can get experiences

How the "F" did this moderator get this gig? He brings nothing...and asks dunderheaded questions, and wastes a shitload of time agreeing and "ummming" all over the place. As someone who does this as well, and bothers to do my research, this is almost offensive. Right down to this dude slouching and looking like he needs a shower. NOT up to standards that Lincoln Center should be exhibiting.

kool , thanx

I hate when interviewers talk over the guest. This might not have been a good interview with some of these dull “celebrities” but Waters is so charmingly animated. I mean we’re here to listen to John Waters not the interviewer. Lay off the poor guy he was fine. (I didn’t hear a word he said)

i mean, he isnt using the mic properly, but the interviewer seems fine to me? he doesnt seem awkward, he seems pretty relaxed. he's asking interesting questions, getting great stuff out of waters, and articulating himself clearly enough.

Why is the volume so low???

Anybody know where to find anything about Margarita Durah? Spelling?

Can someone help me here? John mentions Margarita (someone), and a cookbook she put out in which she's snarky and says, "You'll never be able to make this!" What's her last name, please? I can't understand him. And where can I get that book?! Thanks!

Does anyone know how to spell the last name of Margarita, the person John mentions at 19:00? I'm trying to search her up but I can't find anything...not sure about the spelling.

omg what a raconteur John Waters is.

Where is the audio?

Would've been better if they took questions from the audience. And if Lincoln Center got someone better to conduct the interview.

i like the interviewer actually. he has some trouble articulating sure but he is opening new avenues of conversation by just treating the interview as a conversation. that, and having seen mondo trasho and multiple maniacs in 1970, thats pretty cool as well

who is the interviewer? I would like to meet him

The poor interviewer sometimes looks as if he’s struggling just as hard to focus on squirrels chasing acorns inside his head as he is trying to focus on John. He’s mostly fine, but one wonders if he’s having little LSD flashbacks from the ‘70s at various intervals.

An interview with John Waters about his greatest film... and they chose this guy? Any number of my friends can recite any line from Female Trouble, and he seems like he didn't even pay attention to it. What an insult.

John Waters interviews himself

Can't hear it.

John Waters marry me.....................please

The interviewer doesn't understand the principle of speaking into the mic.

A long comedy that is good is "it's a mad mad mad mad world"

Queens, NY like Baltimore? I don't think so!

John Waters interviewed by Larry "Bud" Melman: Waters is brilliant as usual, but interviewer is terrible!

everyone be nice its past the interviewers nap time

Josie cotton who sang johnny r u queer wanted to cover the theme song female trouble but waters turned her down,big mistake john she is also a huge cult figure and I would have loved to hear her take on the song

This interview has nothing to do with the making of Female Trouble

RIP

Worst interviewer EVER! John is just as fabulous as always, but this guy questioning him is miserable! In addition to not knowing how to use a microphone, he also can't form a sentence audibly and understandably.

WORST. INTERVIEWER. EVER.

Hush, children. Relax.

What? Huh? Can't hear it...Never mind....

Sorry but that guy interviewing John is just distracting! He looks like he never takes a shower, it's DISTRACTING. Talking about Max Sennett and such.....come on, get someone who KNOWS what he's talking about to interview John Waters and talk about FEMALE TROUBLE.

the interviewer doesnt know how to use a microphone. max volume and i cant hear a word hes mumbling.

there is no point having this interviewer on stage. love hearing Waters talk, but the interviewer is a distraction, nothing more.
