The Film
You Don't Nomi
Jeffrey McHale | US | 92
When Showgirls was released in 1995, Paul Verhoeven’s salacious NC-17 look at Vegas dancers was met by critics and audiences with near universal derision. But in the intervening decades, the film has inspired an ever-growing fan community and impassioned debate over its quality, artistic intent and messages about sex and gender. Guided by a chorus of film critics, scholars, and fervent devotees, Jeffrey McHale's documentary explores the legacy and broader implications of Showgirls, while diving into its cultural inspirations as well as its place in Verhoeven’s filmography.
Performer
A. harlana
Led by musician Juno Roome, A Harlana make reverb-drenched, multi-layered, guitar-based tracks that take the listener into a dreamlike world. Everything shifts around you in a way that is comforting, rather than disorientating, and means there is plenty to still discover and then rediscover which each new listen.
