His breakaway first feature gave Sundance its reputation. Its sexuality, wit, and bravado made it an indie blockbuster. But writer-director Steven Soderbergh doesn't seem to care much about all that. Sitting in a park in Philadelphia, he talked to us about the only thing that seems to matter to him: people making movies.
| "Receiving
the Golden Palm at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival is one thing. But
getting your first feature movie released in a Criterion boxed set
... now that's an honor!" -David Hajdu, Video Review The wife
(Andie McDowell) thinks sex is overrated. The husband (Peter
Gallagher) has a hot affair with the wife's sister (Laura San
Giacomo). When the friend (James Spader) arrives on the scene with a
video camera, secrets come out into the open. This sparkling comedy of
marital mendacity was the sleeper hit of 1989. Criterion offers the
film in a wonderful widescreen transfer. The CAV special
edition also includes: - "Winston," a short student film by
writer/director Steven Soderbergh
- Scene deleted from the original
theatrical release
- Video interview with Soderbergh
- The
complete screenplay, including rough drafts
- Production diary
- Soderbergh's original trailer and the Miramax trailer
