CECIL B. DEMENTED
"I held a Pasolini film
fest and nobody showed up!" Waters takes out the Hollywood trash in
Cecil, letting his bitterness towards the Californian movie machine
shine bright.
Our main character, Cecil is a filmmaker and a rebel who
has organized efforts to kidnap Holly Witherspoon, played by the
ever-obnoxious Melanie Griffith. I must admit I do like her in the
cheap dumb bitch roles than in anything where she's trying to be taken
seriously. It's nice to know there's certain things you can always
count on. In a John Waters film it's Baltimore, white trash and soft
core sexuality. On the whole, it doesn't get very far and is only
mildly entertaining next to even Pecker.
