Razzie Nominees 2020-2025
- Page 3
Every year, the Golden Raspberry Awards (a.k.a. the Razzies) honor the "worst" in contemporary cinema. Yet in doing so, they have often inadvertently shed light on films so out-there, so uncompromising, so beyond the bounds of accepted "good" taste that they demand attention. While some infamous Razzie winners like XANADU, BARB WIRE, and GIGLI live on as classics of camp and cult, others, like Michael Cimino's HEAVEN'S GATE, Elaine May's ISHTAR, and Paul Verhoeven's SHOWGIRLS have been reclaimed as fearlessly ambitious expressions of personal vision. In a topsy-turvy way, this program pays tribute to those divisive films that continue to fascinate and provoke debate, while calling into question the very line that separates high and low culture.
