Boogie Nights gets under the skin of the porn film industry's exuberant burst of public semirespectability in the late Seventies, prior to the home-video revolution that changed the rules of the game forever. The movie is no socio-cultural abstract though; it is at heart the story about a group of characters and the de facto family that emerges from their relationships.

This powerful character study and origin story is rooted in American soil.

Sandler plays a socially inept, outwardly calm warehouse worker who harbors a maelstrom of rage.

Sprawling, meaning-laden spectacle from the director of Boogie Nights.
