Basic Instinct
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Paul Verhoeven
1992 / 127min / DCP
The picket lines formed by LBGTQ activists to protest the perceived negative depictions of gay and bisexual characters in this elegant erotic thriller, penned by professional sleaze Joe Eszterhas, didn’t do much to temper its huge popularity. Verhoeven's Basic Instinct made a star of ice queen blonde Sharon Stone, the femme fatale that Michael Douglas’s San Francisco detective, who’s investigating a rock star’s murder, just can’t keep his mitts off.
