A close-up of Terence Stamp grimacing with blood on his face in The Limey
The Big Picture Steven Soderbergh is the rare auteur who doesn't carry himself like an auteur. While he is a widely celebrated and influential visionary whose films are known for impeccable craft, Soderbergh is not bound by one style or theme. Where most austere directors take extended gaps between projects, Soderbergh works prolifically, often releasing a film annually.
Run Time 89 minutes Director Steven Soderbergh Release Date October 8, 1999 Actors Terence Stamp, Lesley Ann Warren, Luis Guzmán, Barry Newman, Peter Fonda Steven Soderbergh Reinvents the Crime Thriller in 'The Limey' Following a roaring debut with the Palme d'Or-winning sex, lies, and videotape, Steven Soderbergh struggled to find his footing, directing a series of films that tried to recapture the indie magic of his first picture.
Categorizing The Limey as a classical revenge thriller would be an erroneous claim. Narratively, the movie operates in a familiar space, but it's in the editing room where The Limey transcends into new-wave filmmaking. Referring to the film's structure as "nonlinear" perhaps undersells the virtuosity of the narrative flow, which jumps around from vignettes of Wilson's past to the ex-con surveying the Valentine estate.
Why Lem Dobbs Was Upset With Steven Soderbergh's Direction of 'The Limey' Close For true film nerds, The Limey's legacy prevails as a DVD bonus feature. In one of the most memorable commentary tracks, Soderbergh sparred with the film's screenwriter, Lem Dobbs, over the distinct creative choices made by the director. Dobbs reprimands Soderbergh for deconstructing his script and, as he claims, needlessly framing the story from a nonlinear perspective.
