RLJ Entertainment has provides us with an official trailer for Jeffrey McHale's documentary You Don't Nomi (2019), which will be released on Blu-ray on July 21.
Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995) was met by critics and audiences with near universal derision. You Don't Nomi traces the film's redemptive journey from notorious flop to cult classic, and maybe even masterpiece.
Official synopsis: A chorus of film critics and fervent devotees explore the complicated afterlife of 1995's biggest film flop, Paul Verhoeven's salacious Showgirls, from disastrous release to cult adoration and extraordinary redemption. The film features Adam Nayman (Vice Guide to Film), April Kidwell (I, Nomi) and Peaches Christ (Milk) as well as archive interview footage with the cast and crew of Showgirls.

About the Director and his project: JEFFREY McHALE is a documentary filmmaker based in Los Angeles. His feature film debut, YOU DON'T NOMI, is the zenith of what he calls his "Showgirls adventure." While McHale's inspiration for You Don't Nomi originated with the unexpected viral success of his 2010 trailer mashup of Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls and Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, Nomi also synthesizes recurring themes in McHale's work, including the examination of queer subcultures and the exploration of how identities are articulated.
As a television editor, McHale's work includes acclaimed technology and science news series TechKnow for Al Jazeera English and most recently the groundbreaking World Cup docuseries Phenoms for Fox. Earlier projects, including documentary shorts and music videos, have screened at NewFest, Frameline, Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival, and the Melbourne Queer Film Festival. A native of Michigan, McHale began his career at WGN America after studying film at Columbia College Chicago.
