H<\/span>er voice is not the attribute for which Pamela Anderson has ever been most known, but it\u2019s the best thing about The Last Showgirl: high and homely, cutesy, singsongy and often dramatic, with a Marilyn breathiness in moments of intimacy and a forced formality when nervous, and occasionally pushed to a point of squeaky desperation, it\u2019s a voice of incongruous innocence \u2014 incongruous for a 57-year-old single mom, and incongruous for a dancer in a Vegas nudie show who steps on stage every night in a feathered headdress and see-through bra.<\/p>\n

Like the naturalistic flipside to this year\u2019s The Substance, The Last Showgirl follows a woman in late middle age who is cast out of her glamour profession for the crime of aging; even more acutely than The Substance\u2019s Demi Moore, Anderson, the wet-dream fantasy of the pneumatic \u201990s, is a walking ledger of sexual currency. She plays Shelley, the longest-tenured cast member of the notionally Parisian-inspired Le Razzle Dazzle, the kind of show where rhinestones and crystal beads are supposed to signify class, like the \u201cGoddess\u201d revue in Verhoeven\u2019s Showgirls. <\/p>\n

Of course, that was a long time ago. (The Last Showgirl is set in the present day, but Shelley still makes calls from a landline and gets paid in paper checks; neither she nor her younger castmates self-promote on social media, and the script periodically conflates \u201c30 years ago\u201d and \u201cthe 1980s.\u201d) These days, Shelley keeps ripping the fabric of her costume\u2019s wings on a stage door\u2019s handle as she hustles backstage for a quick change; this bird doesn\u2019t soar quite so high as she used to.<\/p>\n

As the film begins, the stage manager (Dave Bautista, a quiet guy in loud shirts) gives the dancers their two weeks\u2019 notice; Razzle Dazzle will be replaced by an adult circus (rather than the celebrity concert residencies that increasingly dominate a modern Vegas approaching four-quadrant appeal). What follows is a lot of stock-taking, and the indignity of cattle-call auditions. She\u2019d retire, but she loves to dance, and anyway, none of the girls in the Razzle Dazzle have a \u201c501k\u201d [sic], in the words of Shelley\u2019s best friend (Jamie Lee Curtis), a cocktail waitress in dyed red hair and control-top hose, who still has poker chips stuffed down her cleavage as a tip. <\/p>\n

In his new book On the Edge, the statistician and pundit Nate Silver takes the measure of a United States where gambling and gamification is becoming something like a national pastime: not just seen in the expanded legality of sports betting, but in day trading, crypto, home flipping. Las Vegas is something like the speculation capital of the world, and it\u2019s also a town whose main industry is the hospitality industry, which is to say it runs on the labor of a precarious class of service employees, working physically demanding, low-paying jobs with no safety net and little process of advancement. Sprung up in the middle of the desert, Vegas is something like a capitalist mirage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on the Razzle Dazzle for so long,\u201d Shelley says at an audition for a new show, a wistful wonderment in Anderson\u2019s voice. She is both a seller of the fantasy of Vegas, and one of its best customers, a commoditised body who\u2019s given her life to an ersatz dream of showbiz. She practices her audition number in a ballet dancer\u2019s leotard, though that\u2019s not what she\u2019ll be wearing onstage. The film\u2019s title card appears against a backdrop of costume jewellery, like in Sirk\u2019s Imitation of Life.<\/p>\n

Like Imitation of Life, The Last Showgirl treats high-gloss femininity as a form of false consciousness, an ideal imposed upon women that ends up alienating them from each other, particularly mothers from their daughters. Shelley is semi-estranged from her daughter (Billie Lourd), who spent much of her childhood playing Game Boy in a parked car while her mother danced. Another, more obvious comparison here is The Wrestler, a masc version of the deteriorating-showbiz-body-drama-with-metatextual-star-casting template. (The screenplay of The Last Showgirl is by TV scribe Kate Gersten, whose husband, Matthew Shire, is the son of Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s sister Talia Shire. The film\u2019s opening credits are in a dusky pink straight out of the palette of Gia Coppola\u2019s aunt Sofia, a filmmaker who also knows from razzle dazzle.)<\/p>\n

If the mother-daughter stuff is derivative, it\u2019s not manipulative; shot in grainy, sun-saturated handheld, with lens flare blowing out the sandy desert hues, it\u2019s dreamy and low-key to a fault, even when the old showgirls dance to Bonnie Tyler and Pat Benatar. The twice-daily performances of Le Razzle Dazzle anchor the film, but Coppola keeps her camera almost entirely backstage. Teasing out her long blonde hair and pounding her face into shape with powder puffs and brushes, she transforms from a sweet, squinty working woman into a vision of desirability who still looks like Pamela Anderson \u2014 beauty as just another day at the office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
