Having opened the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, Jeffrey Schwarz’s I Am Divine is heading towards DVD in the US, which gives us a chance to take a peak at the trailer.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘I Am Divine is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I Am Divine is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s emotional complexities and rise to infamy.’
It’s gotten great notices at festivals, so take a look at the trailer above.
