Boogie Nights Dubbed VHS Video Paul Thomas Anderson The time is 1977. Eddie Adams, who works as a dishwasher at a disco, is scouted by pornographic film director Jack Horner because of his large male physique. In the porn industry that Eddie jumps into, there are various people, such as a porn queen who has abandoned custody of her son due to being mired in evil, a manager troubled by his nymphomaniac wife's infidelity, and a gay man. This film is a remake of the 1988 short film "The Dirk Diggler Story" written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. The protagonist is modeled after the real-life porn actor John Holmes, and the film spotlights the light and shadow of the porn industry from the late 1970s to the 1980s. Therefore, at the time of its release, it was called "the porn industry version of "Day for Night"" because it was considered to be an exposé, especially for depicting the conflict between the director and the lead actor, and the ego of the main character, reminiscent of François Truffaut's "Day for Night."
