Hardcore is a 1979 American neo-noir crime drama film written and directed by Paul Schrader, and starring George C. Scott, Peter Boyle, Season Hubley, and Dick Sargent.[1] The plot follows a conservative Midwestern businessman whose teenage daughter goes missing in California. With the help of a prostitute, his search leads him into the illicit subculture of pornography. This book takes you deep into the world behind the camera: the set, the atmosphere, and the many individuals Ñ technicians, casting director, actors and non-actors alike Ñ who accompanied or inspired Kroll throughout the shoot. More than a simple behind-the-scenes document, HARDCORE also includes the photographerÕs own reflections, commentary and a recent interview he conducted with adult film actress Serena. Together, these elements reveal a deeply personal and unexpectedly intimate perspective on the film and on the porn film industry at the end of the 1970s. 20 x 28 cm Ð 224 pages. Hardcover edition with dust jacket. New condition.
