Steven Soderbergh $24.65 Steven Soderbergh’s feature films present a diverse range of subject matter and formal styles: from the self-absorption of his breakthrough hit "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" to populist social problem films such as "Erin Brockovich," and from the modernist discontinuity of "Full Frontal" and filmed performance art of "Gray’s Anatomy" to a glossy, star-studded action blockbuster such as "Ocean’s Eleven." Using a combination of realism and expressive stylization of character subjectivity, Soderbergh’s films diverge from the contemporary Hollywood mainstream through the statements they offer on issues including political repression, illegal drugs, violence, environmental degradation, the empowering and controlling potential of digital technology, and economic inequality. Arguing that Soderbergh practices an eclectic type of moviemaking indebted both to the European art cinema and the Hollywood genre film, Aaron Baker charts the common thematic and formal patterns present across Soderbergh’s oeuvre. Almost every movie centers on an alienated main character, and Soderbergh has repeatedly emphasized place as a major factor in his narratives. Formally, he represents the unconventional thinking of his outsider protagonists through a discontinuous editing style. Including detailed analyses of major films as well as two interviews with the director, this volume illustrates Soderbergh’s hybrid flexibility in bringing an independent aesthetic to wide audiences. |

The Philosophy of Steven Soderbergh $35 Widely regarded as a turning point in American independent cinema, Steven Soderbergh’s sex, lies, and videotape (1989) launched the career of its twenty-six-year-old director, whose debut film was nominated for an Academy Award and went on to win the Cannes Film Festival’s top award, the Palme d’Or. The Philosophy of Steven Soderbergh breaks new ground by investigating salient philosophical themes through the unique story lines and innovative approaches to filmmaking that distinguish this celebrated artist. Editors R. Barton Palmer and Steven M. Sanders have brought together leading scholars in philosophy and film studies for the first systematic analysis of Soderbergh’s entire body of work, offering the first in-depth exploration of the philosophical ideas that form the basis of the work of one of the most commercially successful and consistently inventive filmmakers of our time. |
