background

The film was shot from March 5, 2017 to April 5, 2017 in Munich and Regensburg.

In an interview with Münchner Merkur , director Philip Koch said: “In general, all the scenes that can be seen in the film are realistic - and sometimes only the light version of what really exists. Nothing is made up there. ”In addition, according to Koch, the role of Sam Jordan was modeled on a real, unnamed, former Munich porn film producer (apparently this is John Thompson , who worked in Munich for a long time.) At 8:15 pm, Koch said, the Tatort editors had “ already involved the youth protection officer of the BR when writing the script. She also approved the film together with the editorial team, with the proviso that it was acceptable for twelve-year-olds. Personally, I believe that twelve-year-olds can see more on their smartphones than parents and adults can imagine. "

reception

Reviews

“This 'crime scene' has a pleasantly light, occasionally even amused tone over stretches. But he never falls into the irony trap. Pornography is no joke, it is ubiquitous and may have more impact on segments of the population than streaming services and public television combined. Author Bartosz Grudziecki and co-author and director Philip Koch do justice to this media power in their portrayal of the industry. "

“In any case, despite the impressive visual aesthetics in between, the film scrapes the limits of what is bearable. [...] If all the - extremely numerous - characters and their stories weren't so striking and unbelievable, one could probably appreciate the crime parable better. […] But «Hardcore» has definitely strong moments: there, where the loneliness of one person is cut quietly and in a shortcut style to that of another; where the porn consumer shrinks to the dreary screen junkie. Where the educational system matures into a real film. "

- Alexandra Kedves : Tages-Anzeiger

“Hardcore” wants a lot, but doesn't find a tone of its own. Its elements fit together awkwardly. After all, he is talking about a phenomenon that is present on the Internet a million times over. And he talks about the silence about it. "
