Divine R.I.P. is this curious tribute to the drag queen Divine, with an atmosphere that feels both campy and respectful. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflective of that wild 2000s indie scene, which might turn some away but can be endearing in its own way. The performances are raw, with a genuine spirit that captures the essence of Divine's influence on queer culture. Practical effects have a certain DIY charm, adding to the film's whole aesthetic. It's distinctive, not just as a tribute but as a snapshot of a time when drag was gaining more visibility, but still felt like a subversive act. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors.
Divine R.I.P. wasn't widely circulated upon release, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. It has seen limited format releases, which adds to its scarcity. Interest seems to be on the rise lately, particularly as more collectors focus on LGBTQ+ cinema and underground films from the 2000s. If you're into unique tributes and offbeat indie projects, this one's certainly worth a look.
