MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Playing this week at the Ross: Tying
The Knot, A Dirty Shame
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
presents the John Waters' new film A Dirty Shame and the
documentary Tying The Knot, playing their final week at
the center, 313 N. 13th St.
From the wondrously fertile mind of writer/director
John Waters comes A Dirty Shame, America's first carnal
concussion comedy. Set in the Harford Road area of Waters' native
Baltimore, A Dirty Shame tells what happens when a horny
horde of "sex addicts" invade a blue-collar neighborhood, to the
shock and dismay of the "neuter" neighbors. Rude, joyous and full
of sexual anarchy, A Dirty Shame is a movie with a generous
heart and a dirty mind: in other words, a classic John Waters comedy.
When a bank robber's bullet ends the life of police officer Lois
Marrero, her wife of thirteen years, Mickie, is honored as her surviving
spouse but denied all pension benefits. When Sam, an Oklahoma rancher,
loses his beloved husband of 22 years, long-estranged cousins of
his late spouse try to lay claim to everything Sam has. As Mickie
and Sam's lives are put on trial, they are forced to confront the
tragic reality that in the eyes of the law their marriages mean nothing.
From an historical trip to the Middle Ages, to gay hippies storming
the Manhattan marriage bureau in 1971, Tying The Knot digs
deeply into the past and present to uncover the meaning of civil
marriage in America today.
