Sex, Lies, and Videotape


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Jordan, Amberly

Wow, it's been a very long time since I saw this little number. Steven Soderbergh's breakthrough film and an extremely enjoyable 90's drama. Also contains one of my favourite pieces of IMDB triva:

"On the first day of production, the producers sent a telegram to Steven Soderbergh; they teased him good-naturedly, telling him they'd heard reports that he couldn't direct traffic. Twelve years later, Soderbergh won an Oscar for directing Traffic."

Hilarious.

James Spader, you are just awesome. Probably the least annoying Andie MacDowell role ever as well.

And apart from the great dialogue and acting, one of the things I find interesting about this film is that it makes me slightly nostalgic for those big cassette videocameras. Beta is better folks.
