Gia Coppola's latest film, 'The Last Showgirl', starring Pamela Anderson, explores themes of aging, show business decline, and the changing landscape of Las Vegas. The film follows Shelley, an aging dancer facing existential dread when her Las Vegas show is on the verge of closing. Anderson's performance has already garnered a Golden Globe nomination.
Francis Ford Coppola's filmmaking legacy remains safe in the hands of his progeny, including his daughter Sofia Coppola and his granddaughter Gia Coppola . The latter doesn't have that many titles to her name yet, but her latest endeavor has made waves on the film festival circuit and is now a top contender for major awards.
Posts ScreenRant interviewed Coppola about how she saw the changing landscape of Las Vegas as a metaphor for the state of America in The Last Showgirl, and why it was so vital that Pamela Anderson play the lead role of Shelly. He really vetted me and made sure like,"Is she going to be in good company?" And I promised him that I was going to protect her, and I really have so much love for her. I can see in her documentary that she's really itching to express herself in dramatic roles, and that she is just full of such an interesting life and has so much optimism in her way that she approaches life.
Gia Coppola: Well, Las Vegas in itself is such a metaphor for the Americana, and I think I've always been fascinated by that setting just because it visually can convey so much of this meaning. It's glittery, but what goes on behind the sort of facade, and who are the people that make this magic come to life - that's always stayed with me. The world of Razzle Dazzle was based off of a real show, the Jubilee.
