Tuesdays in Space:Paul Verhoeven- Starship Troopers (1997)

Today's screening is in the following version: English with German subtitles.

Paul Verhoeven’s cult classic about a group of young recruits fighting an alien insect army.

The best review of this film was written by Jochen Werner from the Kino in den Hackeschen Höfen. We’d like to quote: “With ‘Starship Troopers,’ Paul Verhoeven takes the biting social and media criticism he first laid out in ‘RoboCop’ to the extreme —and, through the medium of the science-fiction blockbuster spectacle, he not only directs what is arguably his best film, but also one of the smartest and most subversive films ever made about fascism and militarism. Based on Robert A. Heinlein, Verhoeven thoroughly subverts his source material and, through the story of a generation of young soldiers who are sacrificed in an interstellar war against giant space bugs, delivers a scathing deconstruction of propaganda and warmongering.”
