Sex, Lies, Ocean's, and Magic Mike: Ranking Steven Soderbergh's 20 best films
Soderbergh’s debut feature is a seminal and groundbreaking work on several fronts. Not only didbring him attention early in his career as a director to watch , its critical and financial success became a proof of concept for the independent film industry in the early ’90s. It also helped put the Sundance Film Festival on the map as a marketplace for art-house darlings in search of a wider audience.
Soderbergh is more interested in sex as a concept, and the ways people use intimacy to establish or avoid connections. James Spader gives a standout performance as a drifter obsessed with videotaping women talking about their most intimate desires. The stripped-down cast also includes Peter Gallagher as a married man whose affair with his wife’s sister is complicated by his old college friend’s voyeuristic kink.
