The Rise of Showgirls: From Critic’s Flop to Cult Classic

The public managed to change its mind.

Paul Verhoeven introduced his film Showgirls in 1995. The famous director invited Kyle MacLachlan, Elizabeth Berkley and other artists to the film, and the plot of the tape tells about a stripper who dreams of conquering Las Vegas.

However, the film was not appreciated at all by either the audience or the critics. Experts, discussing the picture, left no stone unturned and called it too frank and meaningless, and she set an anti-record at the Golden Raspberry Prize, taking eight statuettes.

But some time after the premiere, Showgirls was released on cassettes. And after that, the picture began to gain popularity. Ordinary viewers liked the difficult story of the dancer Nomi, and in the plot they were able to detect philosophical overtones. As a result, today the picture is considered a cult. It is also one of the most famous films of the author of Basic Instinct and RoboCop.
