A propos de cet article

John Waters added another dimension to film going with Odorama, making the sordid settings the more vivid by engaging your nostrils. Smell cards were a gimmick tried out in a handful of movies in the 1950s when the movie industry were desperate to win back audiences who were choosing to stay home and watch television. As far as we know, Waters was the first to work with the sense of smell in years, and now when one thinks of the movies with scripted odors, Polyester is the movie that comes to mind. Part of the thrill of a Waters movie was the joy of being thoroughly grossed out, and oh how Odorama delivered, as audiences laughed hysterically as they screamed ughs and yucks. Our Odorama card is unused and in all respects in mint condition. We have not scratched the dots to test the purity of the stenches concentrated underneath. As to that, caveat emptor. The card measures 28 by 13 cm. The front has stills of the actors, Divine shown with her inimitable expressions and in one photo, as a man (she often played male characters as well as her trademark drag in her movies). The other side, well, it is dormant, waiting for someone to release its explosion of smells.
