This is close to what I once saw in a dream. A Japanese LP of Jack Nitzsche's score for Paul Schrader's Hardcore, starring George C. Scott, Peter Boyle, Season Hubley and Dick Sargent...
I've always felt the casting of Dick Sargent as the brother in law was true genius in filmmaking. Best known for the role of Darrin in Bewitched television series, his role in Hardcore really does enhance the notion of the American dream gone to hell in a handbasket.
Love this tragic, unusual film from 1978. If the masters of the exceptional and somewhat brutal score by Jack Nitzsche are gone, it would really be too fuckin' bad, IMO.
