Too Much is not Enough: Paul Verhoeven, Rene Girard & the Femme (Fa)tale

| 520 | |a The film director Paul Verhoeven has described his first box office success, RoboCop (1987) as a "Christian fairytale". This paper explores some possible Christian themes in his next three films Total Recall (1990), Basic Instinct (1992), and Showgirls (1995). I argue that rather than merely presenting examples of the femme fatale, these movies explore a number of social boundaries and narratives which have parallels in Christianity—particularly the concepts of the Second Adam, Redemption and the Eucharist. In this respect, I draw on the work of Rene ´ Girard and, to a lesser extent, Stephen D. Moore to illustrate how Verhoeven's films link in with these theological motifs. | ||
