Editorial
Steven Soderbergh’s thrilling debut is a reminder of just how bracing indie films can be. A taut chamber piece on voyeurism, sexual obsession, and deceit—starring James Spader & Andie MacDowell—the film won him the Palme d’Or aged only 26, changing the face of American indie cinema in the process.
