New Farm & Red Hill. Advance Screenings: Sat 1 Feb, 6:30 PM.In THE LAST SHOWGIRL, director Gia Coppola (Palo Alto, Mainstream) presents a poignant drama set against the vibrant yet unforgiving backdrop of Las Vegas. Pamela Anderson delivers a career-defining performance as Shelly, a seasoned showgirl whose life is upended when her long-running revue abruptly closes after a successful thirty-year run.
Facing an uncertain future, Shelly must navigate the challenges of reinvention in a city that venerates youth and novelty. Her journey is intertwined with that of Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a former showgirl turned casino cocktail waitress, whose own dreams were derailed by personal struggles. Together, they confront the harsh realities of aging in an industry that often overlooks the contributions of its veterans.
Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024, THE LAST SHOWGIRL has been lauded for its authentic portrayal of the complexities faced by women in the entertainment industry. Critics have praised Anderson's nuanced performance, noting it as a significant departure from her previous roles and a testament to her versatility as an actress.
With its compelling narrative and standout performances, THE LAST SHOWGIRL offers a reflective look at the sacrifices made in the name of art and the enduring spirit required to forge a new path when the curtain falls.
