Savoy Film Club: Boogie Nights (OV)

Paul Thomas Anderson's Oscar®-winning film Boogie Nights is available as a DCP for the very first time and returns to cinemas in a brand new 4K restoration.

In a pub, professional porn filmmaker Jack Horner discovers a new talent in pimple-face Eddie, who he then promotes in his films. Eddie, now a star of the porn scene as Dirk Diggler, also becomes part of the Horner family, which includes porn diva Amber, Rollergirl and others. When Jack finds a new talent, Dirk falls into drugs, prostitution and petty crime.
In 1977, adult film director Jack Horner becomes aware of the 17-year-old dishwasher Eddie Adams in a nightclub, whose well-filled crotch virtually predestines him for a career in the porn business. And indeed: Eddie rises to superstardom in the industry under the pseudonym Dirk Diggler. At the beginning of the 80s, however, the industry enters a crisis - video is heralded as the medium of the future - and Eddie himself has to pay tribute to his excessive lifestyle. The fall into the abyss seems inevitable...
The rise and fall of a male porn star between lust for life and destruction. A cinematic Molotov cocktail of exuberant energy that challenges comparisons with Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino - and stands up to them.
