  • Summary

  • In my infrequent series on art denied classic status on release or forgotten from the conversation since. Like almost no one since Sergio Leone, director Paul Verhoeven's work was been critically derided on release, hugely successful with the public and gone through countless upward critical revision since. Whereas Robocop and Total Recall have remained permanently in the public consciousness, Starship Troopers has undergone endless re-appraisal and even Showgirls has become a cult classic, his most controversial film of all has remained curiously quiet, a look back at the impeccably made Neo-noir that cause such a stir on release - a much better film than the trash-controversy elicits and in Sharon Stone, one of the most electric major league debuts in cinema history.
