+"I am a star. I am a big, bright, shining star.” So ends *Boogie Nights*, PTA’s colorful, explosive second feature, with pornstar Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) hyping himself up in a mirror before a shoot. That brashness and nervous energy defines both film and director, as PTA shifts from the relatively small-scale production of *Hard Eight* to the much more expansive setting of the porn industry of the 1970s and 80s San Fernando Valley. Dirk’s self-affirming proclamation may as well be a statement of intent for the director in releasing his proper introduction to the world.

+Along with chronicling the rise, fall, and potential redemption of the young Dirk, *Boogie Nights* also traces the shift from analog to digital media and cements PTA’s enduring thematic interest in found families. He draws on his love of Robert Altman’s films to assemble a cast of characters as dynamic as they are broken, and a propulsive energy drives the film with the drug-fueled chaos of their lives occasionally collapsing into moments of despair, delusion, and, in the best moments, self-awareness.
