Poster for Queer Cinema Club Montreal’s screening of Pink Flamingos (1972) at Cinéma du Parc.
Once reviewed by Variety as “one of the most stupid, vile, and disgusting films ever made” shortly after its release, Pink Flamingos is a cult and countercultural work of black humour directed by John Waters (anointed the “Pope of Trash” by William S. Burroughs in 1986) and the legendary drag queen Divine as Babs Johnson, “the filthiest person alive”.
The title “Pink Flamingos” is set in a tightly kerned Grocers Script, while all other text is in various styles of the Futura family (Book, Medium, Bold Oblique, and Extra Bold Condensed).
