Description
Join us this mother's day weekend for our ode to some of the best bad moms to ever grace the silver screen.
Mother
knows best, especially when it comes to murder, in writer/director John Waters’
outrageously twisted comedy
Serial Mom! In this
spiritual sequel to Polyester - Waters delivers a scathing satire of suburban domesticity,
motherhood, and America’s true crime obsession.
Oscar-nominee Kathleen Turner (in a deliriously unhinged
performance), stars as Beverly Sutphin, a conscientious housewife and mother of
two (played by Ricki Lake and Mathew Lillard) who casually takes up serial murder
out of a combination of boredom and mild irritation at perceived slights and
faux pas. As the bodies begin to pile up so does Beverly’s risk of being caught. But
will mainstream media side with “Serial Mom” when the phenomenon of celebrity
interferes with the justice system?
Filled
with hilariously off-kilter bits, kooky cameos, and a truly heroic star turn
from Kathleen Turner (who somehow manages to make her blood-lusting psychopath
a likable person),
Serial Mom is one of
Waters’ most sustained critiques of a world in which life is supposedly safe
and secure—unless, that is, you wear white shoes after Labor Day.
Also screening this weekend is Joan Crawford exposé - and ultimate bad mom - camp classic MOMMIE DEAREST.
