Body

John Waters’s most recent film, A Dirty Shame asks if a concussive knock to the head is all it takes to turn a sex-averse prude—called a “neuter”—into an insatiable sex addict. 

Ultimately, a Baltimore neighborhood finds itself divided in a war between the neuters and the sex addicts, the latter led by sexual healer Ray Ray (Johnny Knoxville), with several characters—including protagonists Sylvia and Caprice Stickles (Tracey Ullman and Selma Blair)—switching sides more than once. 

The film’s production design from Vincent Peranio and special effects enable a physical universe that visually and thematically echoes the newfound sexuality experienced by its denizens. - Academy Museum
