Dirk Diggler Story, The (1988) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Fake documentary on porn star Dirk Diggler (Michael Stein), which director Anderson would later turn into Boogie Nights. The film was shot on videotape and edited from VCR to VCR yet you can still see the talent behind the camera. The film kept me entertained throughout its 31-minute running time. The video is raw, the performances raw and the editing is raw but it makes for an interesting little film especially when you compare it to the feature version. The ending here is a lot better than the one in Boogie Nights.
