For his first Hollywood studio production, Steven Soderbergh (whose independent debut, sex, lies, and videotape, had won the Palme d’Or at Cannes a few years earlier) crafted this small jeweI of a growing-up story. Set in St. Louis during the Great Depression, King of the Hill folIows the daily struggIes of a resourcefuI and imaginative adolescent who, after his younger brother is sent to Iive with a relative and his tubercuIar mother to a sanitarium, must survive on his own in a run-down hotel during his saIesman father’s long business trips. This evocative period piece, faithfully adapted from the A. E. Hotchner memoir, is among the versatiIe Soderbergh’s most touching and surprising films.
