I saw "I Am Divine" at SXSW last year, and I've been waiting for the day I could finally say this movie was available for online streaming!
"I Am Divine" is the story of Glen Milstead, better known as Divine, larger-than-life drag queen and trashy muse to John Waters, who met him in high school and immediately set about immortalizing him in movies like Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living and Polyester.
If you love Divine (and if you don't, I don't know why you would be watching this movie in the first place), this movie will make you love him til your heart hurts! I AM DIVINE is a revelation - not just a celebration of the trash icon that Divine became (which of course it is), but also an exploration of the human being who drew on crazy eyebrows, ate dog shit, and went out and became a star - despite being the girl least likely to do so. Divine isn't just a drag queen - Divine is a work of outlaw art, a cinematic terrorist, a sexy monster.
As John Waters put it: "He stood for everybody who didn't fit in, exaggerated what everybody hated, turned it into a style, and won."
Click above to view the trailer and stream the entire movie through Distrify. You can also wait for the Blu Ray on April 8th... but why would you do that? Click, you little brats - I get a percentage!!
