Boogie Nights (1997)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 156m
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Cast: Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, Mark Wahlberg, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy
Synopsis:
L.A. during the seventies: a moderately callow young man finds a niche in the flourishing porn industry, first as a technician but soon as a performer.
Review:
A multiple viewpoint narrative of the type beloved of its director, this is an extraordinarily confident piece of work from so young a man, and one which effectively captures the passion and naïvety present within the industry at that time, while not shrinking from the inevitable human cost of going all the way for the camera.
