About this product

Product Information

Steven Soderbergh explodes onto the scene with this provocative, intelligent drama about infidelity and voyeurism. Ann Milaney (Andie MacDowell) lives in a comfortable Louisiana home with her lawyer husband, John (Peter Gallagher). She spends her days fretting over the insurmountable problems of the world and her own unfocused sense of melancholy. Although she doesn't know it, she has a good reason to be upset: John is having a torrid affair with her younger, more extroverted sister, Cynthia (the sexy Laura San Giacomo). When Graham Dalton (James Spader), an old college pal of John's, comes to visit, all three are momentarily distracted from personal problems and intrigues as they scrutinize the odd outsider. Ann soon discovers that Graham has some strange habits and problems of his own. Plagued by impotency since the calamitous breakup of his last relationship, the young drifter finds sexual gratification by videotaping women willing to talk about their sexual past and fantasies in front of the camera. A chain of attraction and jealousy develops as the four interconnect in several varied pairings, culminating with Ann's decision to become Graham's latest subject. Soderbergh's highly influential debut independent feature plays like a dangerous thriller that builds in tension until everyone's secrets are bitterly exposed.

  • This is not a movie; it is a film, and a significant film as well.

    When a 29 year old relatively unknown actor wins a Cannes Film Festival's Palm D'Or best (male) acting award in a film for 1989, and knocks down the wall to "indie films" as well, it may warrant taking note. You may recognize James Spader better now as the character of Raymond "Red" Reddington in the TV-series entitled THE BLACKLIST. But his portrayal of Graham Dalton in this film may be deemed transcendent in my personal opinion.

  • Sex, Lies, videotape and real life

    It was a very provocative film at the time of its release. After watching it again 29 years later, with my adult son, it seemed much less risqué than most of the stuff in films nowadays. It was a great film for a new director and all four lead actors went on to outstanding careers, similar to the great ensemble cast of “Diner”. If you want to see a movie that makes you think about the human condition with superior acting and directing, I encourage you to spend 100 minutes doing so.

  • solid adult drama

    Fascinating mult-character drama that launched the indie revolution of the early 90s as well as introduced the world to the very talented and intelligent Steven Soderbergh, who still remains an interesting (if occasionally uneven) filmmaker. Great acting from the cast, especially Peter Gallagher as one of the greatest dirtbags to ever grace the screen.
