sex, lies and videotape

Director: Steven Soderbergh

1989 / 100min / DCP

A watershed work in the history of American independent cinema and the dark horse Palme d’Or winner at the 42nd Cannes Film Festival, Soderbergh’s feature debut stars Andie MacDowell as a Baton Rouge woman, Ann, trapped in a loveless marriage with philandering lawyer John (Peter Gallagher), her frustration reaching a breaking point—and new possibilities presenting themselves—when she meets Graham (James Spader), an old college friend of John’s who’s become something of a drifter, and who’s picked up a curious habit of recording interviews with women in which they discuss their secret sexual desires… A deeply intelligent and cunningly comic film about affairs of the flesh.

Distributor: Sony Pictures Entertainment
