The Hardcore Collection

Overview

The Hardcore Collection --- 1999

This exclusive video collection is jam-packed with the best from noted New York filmmaker, Richard Kern. His sexually-charged work has been alternately dismissed as "violent" and "offensive" by the mainstream press, but embraced by the underground as the perverse standard. Says Kern, "I've tried it all: crime thrills, sex thrills. Nowadays, I get most of my thrills by offending people with my films. I don't even have to be there. I can sit far away and think, 'someone's watching my video right now and thinking, Yeeughh!" Featuring punk rock diva, Lydia Lunch; funnyman, Henry Rollins; the exotic genitalia of Kimbra Pfahler and the churning music of both Sonic Youth, and Foetus, this urban jungle excursion is guaranteed to satisfy your dark craving for the unusual. The Hardcore Collection has been totally remastered, and includes three movies exclusive to this DVD release: Manhattan Love Suicides, Submit To Me, and The Evil Cameraman. Warning: These films contain nudity and images of graphic violence. The Hardcore Collection © 1999 by Richard Kern The film are numbered continuously over both sides of the DVD.
