The Last Showgirl (OV)

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

By Gia Coppola

with Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista

Pamela Anderson gives the performance of a lifetime in this poignant and emotionally powerful film of resilience, rhinestones and feathers, in which she stars as Shelly, a glamorous showgirl who is the longest-serving cast member of Le Razzle Dazzle, a last-of-its-kind, old-school Las Vegas spectacle full of forced smiles and barely there costumes. When the casino management decides to close the show for good after a 30-year-run, it’s an annoyance for most of the girls, but for Shelly, it’s an existential emergency. A wistful showcase for Pamela Anderson in a refreshingly dramatic role, this endearing and heart-breaking movie that pays homage to the working class of Las Vegas with a superb collection of performances, mesmerizing filmmaking, and a thorough exploration of its important themes.
