Synopsis:
Drifter-turned-showgirl, Nomi Malone arrives in Las Vegas with big dreams, sharp elbows, and absolutely no intention of playing nice. Her meteoric rise from a dive-bar stripper to the lead of the glittering Goddess revue is fuelled by her electric, antagonistic chemistry with the reigning queen of the Strip, Cristal Connors (Gina Gershon).

While the film ostensibly features male love interests, the real heart of the story lies in the obsessive psychological game between Nomi and Cristal. Their relationship—a cocktail of shared lipsticks, mutual admiration, and ruthless sabotage—remains one of the most iconic examples of "enemies-to-frenemies" in cult cinema.

Showgirls is a deliriously over-the-top satire of fame, desire, and the price of ambition — all choreographed in six-inch heels. Once scandalous, now canonised as a queer cult classic, its influence can be seen everywhere. As Elle magazine declared: “30 Years Later, Showgirls' Impact Is Everywhere — From Taylor Swift to Euphoria.”

Expect sequins, side-eye, and enough erotic tension to short-circuit the Strip 🥵

Whether you think it's a clever satire on the American Dream ✨, pure trash 🗑️, or you're undecided- join our screening in the club room at FPP 🎬
