DVD Basic Instinct - €12 Michael Douglas/Sharon Stone Special Edition - 2 discs Thriller / Erotic Original Title . Basic Instinct . USA 1993 Director . Paul Verhoeven Actor(s) Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, George Dzundza, Jeanne Tripplehorn SYNOPSIS An ice pick, the most famous leg-cross in cinema history, and a healthy dose of intrigue gave rise to one of the biggest box-office hits worldwide of the 1990s—a neo-noir thriller with erotic overtones directed by Paul Verhoeven. Catherine Tramell is a successful bisexual writer who may be a ruthless murderer—or at least all evidence points to that conclusion: Johnny Boz, a former rock star and owner of a San Francisco nightclub, is found brutally murdered in his bed after spending the night with her. Catherine had also written a novel describing in detail an assassination identical to Boz’s. Everyone close to Catherine dies, and police detective Nick Curran must uncover why. Johnny Boz, a former rock star and nightclub owner, is found dead in his bed, murdered with an ice pick. The case is assigned to Nick Curran (Michael Douglas), a recovering drug addict. The prime suspect is Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone), a bestselling author who described the crime scene in one of her novels. Sensual and manipulative, Catherine maintains her claim of innocence. Nick ultimately concludes that Catherine is too obvious a suspect. The problem is that by this point he is already too deeply involved to be taken seriously... Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas star in a "thriller" that became a genre classic of the 1990s and, upon its release, sparked sharp controversies within feminist and LGBTQ+ circles. Its erotic scenes also drew criticism from more conservative groups. "Basic Instinct" was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Film Editing (Frank J. Urioste) and Best Original Score (Jerry Goldsmith, who was also nominated for the Palme d'Or). AUDIENCE +++ NOTES Price does not include shipping costs.
