| Summary |
"Steven Soderbergh's cinema-making star blazed with Sex, lies, and videotape, sputtered with The Underneath, and flared again with the Academy Award-winning films Erin Brockovich and Traffic, and the all-star production of Oceans Eleven. Charting this writer-director-producer's surprising career, these conversations with Soderbergh reveal him to be as self-effacing and light-hearted in his later, more established years as he was when just starting out. Unfazed by the glitz and power of Hollywood and unafraid to get his hands dirty and pick up the camera himself, he remains at heart a truly independent filmmaker. These interviews provide an understanding of his aesthetics, a historical perspective on the U.S. independent film movement from the 1980s, a look at the increasingly blurred boundaries between independent and mainstream, and a realization of Soderbergh's commitment to revitalizing cinema from inside the system."--Back cover. |
