Showgirls

Elizabeth Berkley’s Nomi, a poor, street-smart young drifter with a hazy past and plenty of blonde ambition, rolls into Las Vegas with dreams of success and Versace glitz… and God help whoever gets in the way of her achieving it by any means necessary. Verhoeven glories in the crass, glossy grotesquerie of the sex-and-sin business while following Nomi’s tooth-and-nail climb to the top of the erotic cabaret scene, including submitting to the indignities of strip club owner sleaze Robert Davi, a fierce face-off with diva Gina Gershon, and athletic pool sex with bigwig Kyle MacLachlan. A defining film of 1990s America, in all its excess, glitter, and false-bottomed prosperity.
