Seen: 2. I continue to have complicated feelings toward this movie, and I suspect that is the point. I don't like any of these people, and I don't really relate to them either. So why do I care what happens? There is something going on here that digs its claws into my skin, and I can't put my finger on it necessarily. This is a strange beast. I will have to revisit it again in another 15 years.

Very Soderbergh intimate view of a few intertangled relationships. Spader was too sexy. MacDowell played a prude. San Giacomo's flirty sister was almost too much. Gallagher was probably the weakest out of the 4 but gets a decent arc. In fact everything wrapped itself up fairly tidily. Fav scene: Spader destroying his tapes and the camera

Somehow it draws you in. Soderbergh very calm and subtle directing and camera movements keep you on your toes and always in wonder. Coupled with decent acting, it is a genee of film that stands apart.

Definitely see the influences of the rhythm and filmmaking this would have on a generation of indie films (loved the indoor compositions through doorways and hallways). Loved every part of the cast.

Stereotypical characters. Women cannot be anything between prudes or sex-driven dolls sleeping with their sister's husband. Bad acting. There may be something to the psychology of the movie but based on other movies by Soderbergh, I highly doubt there's anything profound there. Overall, this is probably Soderbergh's fantasy of being a 25-year old pseudo-tortured filmmaker finally getting the beauty queen and revealing her sex drive.
