Hardcore / USA / 1979
Hardcore posits scribe (and sometimes lenser) Paul Schrader without the one asset that elicits his work near-unanimous praise: Martin Scorsese. It’s a similar episode of degradation-cum-redemption as in the pair’s seminal collaboration, Taxi Driver, with George C. Scott as a father attempting to locate his daughter in a convoluted network of pimps and pornographers. This father’s investigation necessitates his adhering to this environment, strewn in profanity, after he fires his private investigator, but his degradation is misconceived because of how easily it is made; he dons a fake moustache, wig, and a polyester shirt and he fits in this fringe culture so easily it’s apparent that he’s not only rehearsed this role, he enjoys it to some extent when he should, for all intents and purposes, be repelled by it.
