BOOGIE NIGHTS

Spanning the late 70's and early 80's, Anderson follows the exploits of a hardcore adult film outfit, and especially its most famous star, from the troupe's beginnings, through its meteoric rise and its inevitable decline and fall. In a classic 70's disco, teenager Eddie Adams is discovered by porn director Jack Horner. Horner believes that the adult film can be made into an art form that can both titillate and entertain, and his loyal crew follow him down any path. But it is Adams who comes up with the greatest concept of them all: a porno James Bond, complete with action sequences and explicit sex scenes. The series is a great success and makes Adams a household name. But drugs and the bizarre mechanisms of this disfunctional family take their toll, and the group begins to break apart. The film is a powerful exploration of what happened to decent people when the greedy 80's took control.
