Patricia Hearst

A Dirty Shame -- A repressed woman has a sexual awakening when she suffers a blow to the head.

Brigid Berlin's story takes us on a journey through the life of a blueblood socialite turned Andy Warhol bad-girl.

Eisenhower is President. Rock 'n' Roll is king. And Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the baddest hood in his high school. Johnny Depp heads up a super cool cast as the irresistible bad boy whose amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild - especially Allison Vernon Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful "square" who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dreamy juvenile delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women. It's the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Waters' outrageous musical comedy.

From the outrageous John Waters ("Serial Mom," "Hairspray"), comes another signature exercise in bad taste. Sylvia Stickles, the owner of a convenience store in a working-class Baltimore neighborhood, suffers a concussion. The injury causes a drastic change in her sexual drive, turning her into a sex addict with crazy, wild and urgent desires and compulsions, much to the joy and then frustration of her husband, who has trouble keeping up with her. As Sylvia's insatiable libido reaches fever pitch, her new oversexed personality threatens to tear apart the remnants of what wasn't an entirety perfect family to begin with. And that's A Dirty Shame. Starring Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Tracey Ullman (TVs "The Tracey Ullman Show," TVs "Ally McBeal"), Johnny Knoxville ("The Dukes of Hazzard," "Men in Black II"), Selma Blair ("Legally Blonde," "Hellboy"), Chris Isaak ("The Silence of the Lambs," "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me") and Mink Stole ("Lost Highway," "But I'm a Cheerleader").

Acclaimed filmmaker John Waters returns to his favorite city, Baltimore, for this side-splitting film starring Tracey Ullman as Sylvia Stickles, a convenience-store worker who becomes a raging sexaholic after a minor accident. But her newfound lust is more a hassle than a gift, igniting class warfare on her street, Harford Road. Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak and Selma Blair co-star. Waters's muse, Patty Hearst, makes her usual cameo.

When an accidental concussion awakens the carnal urges of Sylvia Stickles, the people of Pinewood become pitted against each other in an epic battle of decency versus depravity. Sylvia finds herself on the road to eternal sexual satisfaction.

Brigid Berlin's story takes us on a journey through the life of a blueblood socialite turned Andy Warhol bad-girl. Friends and admirers such as John Waters and Patricia Hearst, as well as Berlin herself, tell the story of a high society girl who rebelled against a media mogul father and a controlling mother to star in several Andy Warhol films, most notably Chelsea Girls. As an artist in her own right, Brigid created performance pieces about her life, incorporating Polaroids and audiotapes before they became chic. Join Berlin through rare archival footage of Andy Warhol's Factory, including taped conversations with Warhol himself and little-seen footage from classic Factory films. Pie In the Sky, destined to become a cult classic, takes the viewer into a world where food obsessions, pug paraphernalia, body art, drugs, and celebrity are among the many facets of an unforgettable pop figure.

Only the twisted mind of writer-director John Waters could conceive a plot that chronicles guerrilla moviemakers who kidnap a movie goddess (Melanie Griffith) and force her to star in their underground movie.
