Holding onto the dream of bourgeois America has never seemed so impossible, stupid, crass, and funny as in Jon Waters\u2019 Polyester (1981). \xa0Divine heads up a cast of Waters-regulars and boorish newcomers to tell the story of the dissolution of Francine Fishpaw\u2019s family as it succumbs to adulatory, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug addiction, hooliganism, murder, and a lot of real-world smells thanks to the scratch-and-sniff gimmick of Odorama.
