AmazingGreat intro to John Waters film.. Not as intense as pink flamingos, but just enough to get you hooked.Score: 5/5

FULL OF GRACE!This movie is TOTALLY underrated and hilarious! The characters are well-written and everybody lives in their own individual little idyllic world. Full of great catchphrases to boot. I recommend people rent first, because the comedic elements are avant-garde, although if Pecker were to come out today it would get rave reviews. It's definitely a film that came out before it's time and helped lay a foundation for today's funny movies..Score: 5/5

Français
Pecker est un modeste vendeur de sandwiches de la banlieue de Baltimore. Il a une passion: la photographie. Il fixe sur la pellicule son entourage et expose ses œuvres dans le fast-food où il travaille. Le point est approximatif, le cadrage un peu bancal, mais c'est justement cette naïve sincérité qui plaît a Rorey, galeriste new-yorkaise passant là par hasard. Pecker se retrouve propulsé de son petit village au Village new-yorkais, autrement plus chic mais autrement plus hypocrite...

Português
Narra a história de Pecker(Edward Furlong), um fotografo amador de Baltimore, que usa como assunto de suas fotos todos freaks e losers da cidade. Um dia ele é descoberto por uma dona de galeria de artes de Nova York, vivida por Lili Taylor, que resolve fazer uma exposição das fotos de Pecker. Ele acaba se transformando na nova sensação artística da cidade. Mas sua fama repentina irá mudar o comportamento de todos a sua volta, principalmente dos espectadores que não deveriam ter nada com isso.

Italiano
Un impiegato di una paninoteca di Baltimora diventa un fenomeno dall'oggi al domani quando le fotografie che ha scattato alla sua strana famiglia diventano l'ultima moda nel mondo dell'arte. Il giovane si chiama "Pecker" perché becca il suo cibo come un uccello.

Deutsch
Er ist erst 18 Jahre alt und arbeitet in einer Imbissbude in Baltimore. Und er schießt nebenbei - ziemlich wackelige - Bilder von seinen bizarren Familienangehörigen ... und was ihm sonst noch über den Weg läuft. Der Alltag des Hobby-Fotografen Pecker ist genauso unscharf und einfach wie seine Werke. Aber weil man in New York fasst jede neue Kunstform bejubelt, erhält auch Pecker seine Chance. Schon bald avancieren die Bilder seiner durchgeknallten Familie zum Kult-Objekt in der Szene. Dummerweise geht Peckers Erfolg in Baltimore nach hinten los - die Presse bringt die peinlichsten Geschichten zutage, und die Betroffenen finden das nicht so witzig wie die New Yorker Künstlerszene. Für Pecker wird der Erfolg echt "too much" ...

Magyar
A polgárpukkasztás nagymestere, John Waters néhányszor már ledöbbentette a világot hétköznapinak nem igazán mondható filmjeivel. Waters mester ezúttal sem tagadja meg önmagát, egy fergeteges komédiát készített Amerika leghíresebb fotósáról, akinek diadalmenete a suttyó Baltimore-ból egészen a fényes New York City-ig tartott.

Молодой парнишка из Балтимора Пекер любит фотографировать. Да не просто любит, а жить без своего допотопного фотоаппарата не может. Он делает снимки постоянно и везде: на работе в кафе, в транспорте, на улице, дома, в магазине. Ему «виртуозно» помогает в этом друг-воришка, создавая необычные ситуации. Судьба свела Пекера с нью-йоркским агентом-галеристкой. От девушки поступило выгодное предложение по организации выставки фоторабот Пекера в Нью-Йорке. Собрался весь бомонд. Изысканно-капризная публика была в восторге от работ провинциального мальчишки. Ему тут же посыпались заказы на проведение выставок в престижных галереях, но Пекер решил, что теперь не он поедет в Нью-Йорк, а пусть к нему пожалуют снобы из столичного города…

Aggie summary, synopsis, reviews
AggieDocumentary2020

Aggie is a feature-length documentary that explores the nexus of art, race, and justice through the story of art collector and philanthropist Agnes “Aggie” Gund’s life. Emmy-nominated director Catherine Gund focuses on her mother’s journey to give viewers an understanding of the power of art to transform consciousness and inspire social change. Aggie is internationally recognized for her robust and prescient support of artists–particularly women and people of color–and her unwavering commitment to social justice issues. After falling in love with art as a high-school student, Aggie discovers a new way of looking at the world. The film opens with Aggie selling Roy Lichetenstein’s “Masterpiece” for $165 million to start the Art for Justice Fund. The proceeds from one of the highest grossing artworks ever sold fuel a monumental effort to reform the American criminal justice system and end mass incarceration. The film captures Aggie as a true maverick, who demonstrates the unique role and potential of collectors and benefactors to use art to fight injustice. This is untapped terrain, and we see Aggie leading the way.

With rollicking live performances, intimate interviews, and a kaleidoscope of touching and rare archive footage, JINGLE BELL ROCKS! is a cinematic sleigh-ride into the strange and sublime universe of alternative Christmas music.
