About the Book

HARDCORE by Eric Kroll — overview (dust jacket edition)

HARDCORE is a photojournal-style publication by Eric Kroll, built from rare set photographs made during the production of Paul Schrader’s film Hardcore (1979). The emphasis is on work and atmosphere: the set, the crew, and the production environment as it existed at the end of the 1970s.

Beyond behind-the-scenes photography, the book includes Kroll’s own commentary and a later interview with adult film actress Serena. It is also framed by texts by Paul Schrader, including a foreword and a rare 1978 piece written for an unrealized publishing project connected to the film.
