Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct

Paul Verhoeven’s fourth American film was an erotic, exploitative explosion upon its release 25 years ago. Causing controversy on both sides of the spectrum, this Hitchcockian thriller made Sharon Stone one of the defining sex symbols of the 1990s. Michael Douglas & Jeanne Tripplehorn heat things up as this sensational Mystery/Suspense flick reinvented the tired genre in one fell swoop. 35mm print. Rated R. 128 minutes.
