About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Blessed with a keen sense of smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband, a parasitic mother, and a pair of delinquent children, the long-suffering Francine Fishpaw turns to the bottle as her life falls apart -- until deliverance appears in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow. Originally screened with "Odorama" scratch and sniff cards so the audience could (at their own risk) smell along with the film.
A neon-soaked fever dream of suburban misery and campy excess pulses through every frame. Amidst the cheap glitter and domestic chaos, Divine reigns supreme as a tragicomic icon navigating a world of tacky excess.
