Still the most severe indictment of Hollywood's criminal spectacle ever made. I can appreciate "Robocop," "Starship Troopers," and even "Total Recall" on some level, but "Showgirls" is without a doubt the highlight of Verhoeven's career.

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.

Showgirls is the cinematic equivalent of a colourful candy coated cyanide pill: it's superficially pleasing but rotten to its core, and it's the perfect aesthetic match for Verhoeven's absurdly hyperbolic vision of contemporary decadence marked by pornographic excess and ruthless ambition. Disregard the noise of the irony brigade: Showgirls is aggressively energetic cinema made by a gonzo master, and it's best appreciated as a sleazy melodramatic 'musical' shot with garish elegance.

It is a difficult film to (unironically) enjoy, but it is an excellent, scathing satire. Despite what it sells itself as, it's not a very sexy film (unlike, say, Basic Instinct), the sexual imagery is clinical at best and downright terrifying at worst. But that really supports the satire and is definitely an interesting break away from more typical over-sexualized Hollywood films. Whether you end up hating or loving this film (and I do love it), it will definitely immerse you in some way.

Começa horrível, vai ficando pior, chega num momento que tá tão ruim que é quase bom, aí vc começa a gargalhar de tão terrível que tá, aí piora mais um pouco e fica constrangedor de tão absurdo, aí você começa a achar que é uma obra prima do absolutamente péssimo, mas aí vc acha que é só ruim mesmo sem nada de obra prima.
