11th edition CIFF – 9-13 April 2025

The Last Showgirl

USA | 2024 | 85 min | English | d.s.

A film about family, friendship, and aging, as well as a homage to the nightlife working class.

Shelly (Pamela Anderson) is a middle-aged Las Vegas showgirl and a 30-year veteran of a cheesy spectacle called “Le Razzle Dazzle”. After learning that the show will be cancelled, she must figure out what to do with her life. Most importantly, she must mend her relationship with her estranged daughter, Hannah (Billie Lourd). Shelly’s friend Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a former showgirl turned cocktail waitress with a drinking problem, brings, along with some younger dancers, delightful interpersonal dynamics and a humorous touch to the film.

This little gem was filmed in just 18 days on a modest US$ 2 million budget. And yes, the director is the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola.
