Showgirls
Leave your inhibitions at the door... the show is about to begin.
Directed by Paul Verhoeven
Produced by Chargeurs, Charles Evans Productions
A campy, melodramatic cautionary tale about ambition and ruthlessness in the Las Vegas strip club world, driven by spectacle and interpersonal cruelty rather than depth.
Fresh to Las Vegas with no connections, Nomi Malone takes a job as an exotic dancer. Her talents are quickly noticed by Cristal, a headlining dancer who senses an opportunity to bolster her own act. But Nomi won’t play second fiddle and soon begins her venomous path to the top, ruthlessly backstabbing anyone who gets in her way.
