The long and prolific career of Steven Soderbergh (b. 1963) defies
easy categorization. From his breakout beginnings in 1989 with sex,
lies, and videotape to 2013, when he retired from big-screen
movie-making to focus on other pursuits including television, the
director's output resembles nothing less than an elaborate
experiment. Soderbergh's Hollywood vehicles such as the Ocean's
Eleven movies, Contagion and Magic Mike appear just as risky and
outside-the-box as low-budget exercises such as Schizopolis,
Bubble, and The Girlfriend Experience. This updated edition details
key career moments: his creative crisis surrounding his fourth
film, The Underneath; his rejuvenation with the ultra-low-budget
free-style Schizopolis; the mainstream achievements Erin
Brockovich, Traffic, and the Ocean's Eleven films; and his
continuing dedication to pushing his craft forward with films as
diverse as conspiracy thrillers, sexy dramas, and biopics on Che
Guevara and Liberace. Spanning twenty-five years, these
conversations reveal Soderbergh to be as self-effacing and
lighthearted in his later more established years as he was when
just beginning to make movies. He comes across as a man undaunted
by the glitz and power of Hollywood, remaining, above all, a truly
independent filmmaker unafraid to get his hands dirty and pick up
the camera himself.
