I Am Divine
Herself
Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine (1945-1988) was the ultimate outsider turned underground hero.

Glenn went from the often-mocked, schoolyard fat kid to underdog royalty, standing up for millions of gay men and women, drag queens and punk rockers, and countless other socially ostracized misfits and freaks. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture.

트윈 폴스 아이다호
Flamboyant at Party
두 개의 머리와 세 개의 다리를 가진 한 몸의 인간은 정상일까, 기형일까? 이 뜬금없는 질문에 흥미를 느낀다면 이 영화 를 권한다. 고객으로 만난 샴쌍둥이 폴스 형제를 보고 기겁했던 창녀 페니는 괴물로 보였던 두 사람에게 점점 불가사의한 아름다움을 느낀다. 하지만 페니가 개입할수록 폴스 형제의 관계는 멀어지고 급기야 영육이 분리되는 비극을 맞는다. 이들의 이별은 해피 엔딩일까, 비극일까? '하나로 살기 위해 서로가 필요한' 샴쌍둥이 형제가 폭력적 세계 속에서 고통받는 모습을 그린 가 매력적인 이유는 실제 일란성 쌍둥이인 폴리시 형제 때문이다. 폴리시 형제가 각본을 쓰고 마이클 폴리시가 메가폰을 잡은 이 영화에서 샴쌍둥이는 치료받아야 할 병자 또는 변종이 아니라 독립적인 개체로 그려진다. 폴리시 형제는 19세기 서커스 막간 쇼의 전설적인 스타로 이름을 날렸던 샴쌍둥이 벙커 형제의 이야기에 감화받아 이 영화를 구상했다. 샴쌍둥이에 대한 세심한 묘사가 가능했던 것은 유년기부터 그들만의 언어로 소통하며 언어치료까지 받았던 폴리시 형제의 남다른 경험 덕분이다. 우울한 로맨스에 사색의 기회를 주는 드라마, 데이비드 멀런의 단아한 촬영이 빛나는 는 99년 선댄스 영화제에서 의외의 호평을 받으며 또 하나의 인디 시네마 브러더스의 탄생을 알렸다.

Nossiter's camera follows Crisp about the streets of Manhattan, where Crisp seems very much at home, wearing eye shadow, appearing on a makeshift stage, making and repeating wry observations, talking to John Hurt (who played Crisp in the autobiographical TV movie, "The Naked Civil Servant"), and dining with friends.

This Is America
Self (uncredited)
Inspired by shock-documentaries like Mondo Cane, this film looks at the wilder side of life in America. Starting off with the bloodier side of the American car culture by showing a series of crashes at race events, the film then goes on to lesser-known sexual practices. Included among these is a porno movie award show, a nude beauty contest, a sex therapy session, and a detailed explanation of where dildos come from.
Underground and Emigrants
Self
In this film, outspokenly homosexual filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim has documented his encounters with friends in the New York "underground" arts movement, the better-known of whom are William Burroughs (who says nothing for the camera), Andy Warhol (seen in the distance) and Fernando Arrabal (who is interviewed in Spanish). The emigrants named in the title are notable Germans who left the country before World War II, such as Greta Keller and Grete Mosheim. Reviewers at the time of the film's release considered it to have been a sort of paid vacation for the filmmaker rather than a serious effort. (Clarke Fountain, Rovi)

Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers
Eve Harrington / Rhett Butler
SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS is about an aspiring actress from Kansas who comes to New York and meets a host of zany characters. Warhol Superstar Holly Woodlawn plays both the female lead, “Eve Harrington,” and a male anti-hero, “Rhett Butler.” All of the characters’ names in the film are taken from popular motion pictures and books. Characters included “Mary Poppins,” “Ninotchka,” “Margo Channing,” “Walter Mitty,” “Blanche DuBois,” “Baby and Jane Hudson” (played by twin sisters), “Marjorie Morningstar,” “Joe Buck,” “Noel Airman,” “Ratzo Rizzo,” and “Stanley Kowalski.” The film also has musical numbers that were spoofs of 1930s and 1940s routines choreographed by famed dance director Busby Berkeley. One production number, “The Dusty Rose Hotel,” sung by Tally Brown, paid homage to Judy Garland’s “born-in-a-trunk” sequence in 1954’s A STAR IS BORN.
