If you loved The Canyons, try Hardcore
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Paul Schrader, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Canyons, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hardcore is
Downtown Los Angeles. Christmas week. A ringing phone. Jake Van Dorn arrives to claim his daughter, Kristen. She is not there. A private investigator leads him into the labyrinth of the San Fernando Valley's adult film industry. Schrader's grim, neon-lit descent mirrors his *Taxi Driver* milieu.
