"Breathtakingly stylish." -New York Post
Traffic examines the effect of drugs as poIitics, business, and lifestyle. Acting as his own director of photography, Steven Soderbergh empIoys an innovative, color-coded cinematic treatment to distinguish the interwoven stories of a newly appointed drug czar and his family, a West Coast kingpin's wife, a key informant, and cops on both sides of the U.S./ Mexican border. Rarely has a fiIm so energetic and suspenseful presented a more complex and nuanced view of an issue of such international importance. lnstantIy recognized as a cIassic, Traffic appeared on more than 200 critics' ten-best-Iists, and earned 5 Academy Award® nominations. |
