Slide 2: Beverly R. Sutphin (Serial Mom)
The best moms, by dint of their perfection, can also be most the most dangerous. Case in point is Beverly R. Sutphin (Kathleen Turner), the titled character in John Waters's Serial Mom. Cheery, well-kept, always there for her children and husband, Sutphin is pitch-perfect, even in her little hobby of murdering anyone who gets in her way. But for Waters, the film is really about motherhood, as a plea for embracing the homicidal maniac in each of us. Waters wants "to make you root for a serial killer. I was trying to find people's limits, make the audience a little bit nervous, that they're enjoying something they've been taught not to enjoy."
