If you loved Diary of a Chambermaid, try Showgirls
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Diary of a Chambermaid, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Showgirls is
All About Eve without the champagne. An ambitious young woman arrives in Vegas and claws for a spot as a dancer. Verhoeven's lurid film is less about ambition than the gaudy spectacle of its own making.
