dylanpatrickbaldwin 5 December 2015. Mondo Trasho, the legendary John Waters' debut film, is rife with pacing issues, ugly camera-work, and all around monotony from beginning to end. The ugliness of the film overall is unsurprising, as this is Waters' lowest budget ever at $2,100, about $13,000 today.
Synopsis. At Last…. A “Gutter Film”. A day in the lives of a hit-and-run driver and her victim, and the bizarre things that happen to them before and after they collide (sexual assault by a crazed foot-fetishist, visions of the Virgin Mary, strange chicken-foot grafting operations). Remove Ads.

Sep 10, 2012 · Less blasphemous, Mondo Trasho finds Divine lugging round the lifeless body of Mary Vivian Pearce, whom she has run over with her Cadillac convertible, all to the accompaniment of a tinny medley ...
With no live dialogue, Waters relied on his vast knowledge of music to move this feature along. Snatches of Elvis Presley, R&B, Lou Christie, doo-wop and more carry Mondo Trasho through cinematic moments of nude hitchhikers, foot fetishists and the struggle of always striving to be "truly divi-i-i-ne." [30 Sep 1988, p.66]
