Drunk Screening- Showgirls
How many sequins, unnecessary sex scenes, and over-the-top melodrama can you cram into one film? That’s exactly what Showgirls, Paul Verhoeven’s scandalous 1995 film, set out to explore. It crashed into Hollywood like a stiletto to the face—earning scathing reviews, box office failure, and public humiliation—only to evolve, over the years, into a surprising feminist cult phenomenon.
At this screening, we invite you to watch the film the way it was truly meant to be seen: not sober. Join us for a drunken screening of Showgirls, hosted by Eival Na'ama Lurie, who will share her personal take on this infamous trash gem—plus a drinking game to crank the experience up a notch. Glam looks and a drink in hand highly recommended.
