Basic Instinct

30th ANNIVERSARY SCREENING of Paul Verhoeven’s controversial neo-noir thriller BASIC INSTINCT.
Iconic scenes and dialogue, a cat and mouse plot and a star-making performance from Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas.
Sharon Stone stars as Catherine Tramell, a cold, calculating and beautiful novelist with an insatiable sexual appetite. Michael Douglas co-stars as Nick Curran, a tough but vulnerable homicide detective. Catherine becomes a prime suspect when her boyfriend is brutally murdered - a crime she described in her latest novel. Obsessed with cracking the case, Nick descends into San Francisco's forbidden underground where suspicions mount, bodies fall and he finds within himself an instinct more basic than survival.
