So it didn't match up to Pink Flamingos but in my mind I enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than Female Trouble. I mean it was one of Mink Stole's best work. I listened to the commentary and Waters admitted that at that time in movie making, the fan base was changing and the cult status of movies were beginning to phase out. I believe that Waters made the best of what he could. He knew a change was happening and he overcame it. Desperate Living is one of my personal favourites in the Waters series of films and will remain that way. Edith Massey's portrayal of Queen Carlotta was very humourous, especially the absurd line "Seize her a f**k her". It's outrageous.
