Boogie Nights

Posted on June 17, 1998September 14, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “Boogie Nights,” 12 June 1998 (1997), video.  Very well done, if rose colored, look at the porn industry of the 1970s and 80s with fine acting, especially by Burt Reynolds as a mephestophlian director, although the whole cast is really good. Marky Mark surprises and I always love William Macy. Glosses over the exploitation and physical and psychological abuse of women and adolescents in the scene. Lots of drug abuse, that is chronicled well. I think it’s a very good film. Some of my friends (especially women) found it appalling, although Bronwen liked it.
