He is both a provocateur and a gonzo craftsman; from Dutch successes ( Soldier Of Orange , The Fourth Man ) to Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters (RoboCop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers ), the director has found a way to merge dark satirical wit with a taste for excesses of sex and violence.
Few commercial filmmakers have mastered the art of popcorn subversion like the man who gave us “Basic Instinct,” “The Fourth Man,” “Robocop,” “Black Book,” and, yes, “Showgirls.”
Adapted by David Birke (“Freeway Killer”) from the French novel “OH…” by Philippe Djian, “Elle” is discernibly the work of no other director than Verhoeven, with the relentless bite and dramatic ironies and stabs of social satire seen in movies like “RoboCop” and “Starship Troopers,” but also his masterful Dutch work like “The Fourth Man.”
