"But he [Schrader] works with speed and intelligence, paying sharp attention to detail and making the movie as funny as it is quick and frightening.” - New York Times
Directed by Paul Schrader
The sacred and the profane clash when a Calvinist patriarch (George C. Scott) journeys from Grand Rapids to California in search of a daughter who’s become enmeshed in the world of pornography. Writer-director Paul Schrader, raised in a strict Calvinist home himself, has described Hardcore as his film about his father and the film seethes with an array of personal themes and obsessions from the nature of sin and the redemptive power of violence.
