PRIDE SCREENING #2: For our second screening this month, we've got a scorcher!
The first wide release American film to receive an NC-17 rating, SHOWGIRLS stars Elizabeth Berkley (fresh off Saturday morning TV's SAVED BY THE BELL) as Nomi Malone, a drifter who arrives in Vegas with dreams to make it as an exotic dancer.
From filmmaker Paul Verhoeven (ROBOCOP, STARSHIP TROOPERS), SHOWGIRLS is, depending on who you ask, an over-the-top Queer Camp Classic or a dark satire about the dog-eat-dog rot at the core of capitalist America. SPOILER: it's both. Critically savaged upon release, SHOWGIRLS is now a definitive part of the new cult canon. 🌈
CONTENT WARNING: Contains a rape scene.
