| | Formerly stuffy MGM is on a roll, releasing several foreign films uncut that were previously considered too racy for uncut US release. (Hey guys… ZABRISKIE POINT was an MGM film, so how aboput an uncut DVD of that?) This is a 127 minute director's cut of the unusually brutal and explicit story of three dirt bike buddies with motocross dreams in a small Netherlands town. Predatroy Renée Soutendijk (The Fourth Man) and her butch gay brother blow into town selling fried snacks from a gypsy van, and she seduces all three boys in hopes of using one of them to escape her miserable existence. Much like American coming of age movies, but faster, harsher and sexier. Rutger Hauer and Jeroen Krabbé make appearances as the dirt bike champion and a self-promoting sportscaster. Widescreen anamorphic - 1.66:1 • Commentary by director Paul Verhoeven • Theatrical trailer(s) • Director's cut • In Dutch with available subtitles: English, Spanish, French |

| | How puzzling… this is among the worst movies ever released, and simultaneously a sublime work of art. Great films are unforgetable. Lousy films are eminently forgetable. SHOWGIRLS is unforgetable. I really like Martin Scorcese's use of "operatic" to describe a film sensibility emphasizing color, drama and raw emotionalism. SHOWGIRLS is highly operatic! Every line is a cliché, all 'acting' is simply shouting, the constant nudity is almost an assault, and the many sex scenes are more seizures than anything else, but the energy level is unreal, and the whole production seems… sincere. If this had been released in French with English subtitles a lot of American critics would have been suckered into liking it.
