Pecker

Photographer's Gaze • 1h 26m

Directed by John Waters • 1998 • United States Starring Edward Furlong, Christina Ricci, Martha Plimpton

John Waters combines his trademark raunch with newfound sentiment in this sweetly kitschy, offbeat ode to his beloved home city of Baltimore. It’s there that blue-collar teen Pecker (Edward Furlong) pursues his zeal for photography by documenting the exploits of his oddball family and friends. When a New York City art dealer (Lili Taylor) “discovers” his work and turns him into an art-world sensation, the conflicted Pecker must decide whether to pursue fame in the big city or remain true to his Charm City roots.
