Monday Epic: Boogie Nights

Paul Thomas Anderson’s electrifying, darkly comic epic of fame, excess, and heartbreak set in the world of 1970s adult film.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s sprawling drama follows Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg), a young nightclub dishwasher who rises to fame as porn star Dirk Diggler in the vibrant and decadent world of 1970s and ’80s adult filmmaking. As he navigates stardom, ambition, and personal excess, Eddie and a colourful ensemble of performers confront friendship, betrayal, and the costs of chasing fame in a world fuelled by sex, drugs, and neon lights.
