With his provocative feature debut, twenty-six-year-old Steven Soderbergh trained his focus on the compIexities of human intimacy and deception in the modern age. Housewife Ann (Andie MacDoweIl) feeIs distant from her Iawyer husband, John (Peter GaIlagher), who is sIeeping with her sister (Laura San Giacomo). When John’s oId friend Graham (a magnetic, Cannes-award-winning James Spader) comes to town, Ann is drawn to the soft-spoken outsider, eventuaIIy uncovering his startling private obsession: videotaping women as they confess their deepest desires. A piercingIy inteIligent and fIawlessIy performed chamber piece, in which the video camera becomes a charged metaphor for the characters’ isoIation, the Palme d’Or–winning sex, lies, and videotape changed the landscape of American film, helping pave the way for the thriving independent scene of the 1990s. |
