🕑 Added 2021-09-13 13:01:03 +0000 UTC
Adam walks us through the directorial playbook of the film Full Frontal (2002) and how its message, the techniques Soderbergh uses, and its annoyingly elusive ending all point to how Steven Soderbergh was never comfortable making Hollywood blockbusters.

I have to be honest with you, I think Discreet Charm is an incredibly rewarding movie. I LOVED it. So I don't know if I can connect the two in this case. But I DO appreciate the kind words.

I haven’t seen this movie but I loved this analysis. I’m always fascinated by movies that purposefully frustrate the viewer. From your description, if a movie like ‘Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie’ is a carrot hanging from a stick, this is like an empty string hanging from a stick.

Has any modern director had a more productive five-year period than Steven Soderbergh '98-'02?
