Episode description

Six years and four films after Sex, Lies and Videotape, Steven Soderbergh was in a creative funk. History has since recorded the incredible streak of successful commercial entertainments he made beginning with Out of Sight. And just before he did so, Soderbergh made this experimental comedy, a home movie project starring himself, his ex-wife, their friends, and a complex topology that makes it as much of a mind-bender as anything else we've talked about all season.
