90s Prince slappers, shirtless Kyle MacLachlan, consistently great camerawork, peak midnight-movie neon colors, and a deconstruction of Hollywood's love of deconstructing Vegas glamour - every minute is gloriously batshit. Along with Freddy Got Fingered, one of the modern films most desperately in need of a serious critical reevaluation.

Verhoeven pulled off a fucking coup, here, didn't he? Showgirls combines the myth-making Americana pomp of Busby Berkeley, and the subversive, knowing sex games of Russ Meyer, but then it took all of Bob Fosse's quaaludes and had a seizure going down on a hooker in a Vegas back room. Its Tits-and-Ass-and-Overacting glam is a smokescreen obscuring the truth of the musical mythos: Every kind act is shit on and every little shit gets ahead. It's neither serious nor a satire - it's a statement.

"All About Eve" with strippers. The acting is over-the-top and the dialogue ranges from cringy to absurd, but at its heart it is a Verhoeven satire through and through. It is a beautifully shot and presented film that revels in shallowness. The story arc for Elizabeth Berkley is fulfilling in spite of her acting performance. Every sleazy and dramatic aspect is exaggerated, which is par for the course in a Verhoeven. If you watch as a satire, it is as good as his other films.

Very provocative satire but the problem for me is that it switches tone so much that it kinda becomes a satire on its own satire if that makes any sense. I certainly can't recall a film I've seen with more passive aggressive mockery towards everything about its subject. So that's something at least. Just seething with vindictive rage & gets more than a little carried away with it, losing the consistency of its ideas. Still Verhoeven has the ability to repeatedly floor me with his outrageousness.
