Steven Soderbergh set moviegoers loins on fire with his provocative and critically acclaimed indie film Sex, Lies & Videotape. For younger readers, videotape is an old medium for recording video. We used to have to walk in the snow, up a hill to the video store and rent a movie, with no guarantee they would have it! For once, Andie MacDowell didn't put me to sleep as the unhappily married Ann Mullany. James Spader continues to never disappoint as they creepy, perverted and impotent Graham Dalton, who likes to videotape the sexual fantasies of women. The film won Best Picture at the Cannes Film Festival, was a breakthrough for Steven Soderbergh and a pioneer for the indie film movement.
