"This Filthy World, recorded over two nights at New York City's Harry De Jur Playhouse, is revealing, allowing the filmmaker to illuminate the evolution of his illustriously dirty career." - Ed Gonzalez

Loved it. I saw it in LA where John Waters did a Q and A afterward. It was great.

Waters wit and humour makes it easy to be swept along as he relates snippets of his cinematic journey. From the little I've seen of his films I'm rather convinced listening to him talk about films is preferable to watching them (i.e. the Kevin Smith syndrome).

What sets Waters apart from other "shock" directors is how funny he is. Anyone who's listened to one of his commentaries knows what an excellent speaker he is, and this monologue performance does not disappoint. There are a couple of points where he slips into more of a stand-up comedian mode, which doesn't suit him, but I'm nitpicking. In this lecture he offers his thoughts on his career as well as assorted other topics like Baltimore, censorship and youth. Definitely worthwhile for fans.
