7.0Blessed with a keen sense of smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband, a parasitic mother, and a pair of delinquent children, the long-suffering Francine Fishpaw turns to the bottle as her life falls apart -- until deliverance appears in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow. Originally screened with "Odorama" scratch and sniff cards so the audience could (at their own risk) smell along with the film.

Polyester est une comédie de John Waters, réalisée en 1981, avec la participation de Divine. Le film utilise la technique de l'odorama, grâce à une carte à cases numérotées distribuée aux spectateurs avant la projection. Lorsqu'un numéro apparaissait à l'écran, le spectateur devait gratter la pastille correspondante et pouvait ainsi sentir les mêmes odeurs que dans le film (odeur de pizza, de colle, de marijuana, de déodorant pour WC, de putois, d'excréments...).
