Welcome to the Filmographers Podcast, where we study a director’s entire career, one film at a time. In each episode, we discuss why a single film succeeded or failed and examine it in the context of the Hollywood landscape when it was released. In our first season, we’re turning the spotlight on Steven Soderbergh, one of the most celebrated, fascinating, and versatile directors in modern American cinema. https://filmographerspodcast.com/
Stephen Soderbergh is having the best year of his career. “Erin Brockovich,” released in March, has been raking in the cash and is predicted to do well in awards season. But he’s about to upstage himself with ANOTHER film at the end of December: the sprawling war-on-drugs drama “Traffic.”

Steven Soderbergh is on an artistic and critical winning streak, and now, as the new millennium begins, he’s about to finally find box-office success again . . . and maybe win an Oscar, too. (If only he can beat that pesky Steven Soderbergh for Best Director.)

In 1999, as many of his peers take Hollywood by storm, Steven Soderbergh returns to his low-budget indie roots with “The Limey.” Will he maintain his career momentum or succumb to the malaise that defined most of his 1990s efforts? The answer is . . . complicated.

“Out of Sight” (1998) was Soderbergh’s seventh theatrical feature and his first great film. Keir and Mike are excited. Are YOU excited? You’d better be. Because there are few perfect movies in this world . . . and this is one of them.

...In 1997, Steven Soderbergh released not one but TWO films that failed to find an audience. The first was Schizopolis, which we covered in last week's episode.
Gray’s Anatomy, a kind of concert film for monologuist Spalding Gray, was the second. Despite their lack of commercial success, both movies were extremely important to the filmmaker’s growth. But, alas, only one showcases Spalding Gray zestfully saying "macular pucker" more t...
Generic greeting! Short informational introduction including facts such as name and release year of movie (Schizopolis, 1996) and its director (Steven Soderbergh). Labored joke and exhortation to listen!
All meta kidding aside, we’ve arrived at one of the most crucial films in Soderbergh’s long career—it’s the movie no one wanted, but the one he needed. Turns out, it’s pretty good.

While many of his peers are finding their footing, Steven Soderbergh seems to be losing his grip. Some directors never get a second chance, much less a third or a fourth. With “The Underneath” (1995), is time running out?

...Steven Soderbergh decides to follow his smash-hit debut with a black-and-white movie, set in Prague, about the author who puts the A's in alienation, anxiety, and absurdity. We’ve all heard of sophomore slumps, but “Kafka” (1991) is really something.

Steven Soderbergh wrote 1989's “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” in eight days and shot it in one month for $1.2 million dollars—and took Cannes by storm. It was both the beginning of a brilliant career and the dawn of a new era for independent film.
