Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989)

En savoir plus

Sly, seductive, and coolly intelligent, the movie explores the sexual shenanigans and personal preoccupations of its four central characters, revolving around a selfish lawyer who responds to his wife by having an affair with her free-spirited sister. But when the lawyer`s college roommate arrives for an unexpectedly extended visit, the neglected wife is surprisingly responsive to his seductive hobby of videotaping women as they describe their sexual fantasies. It`s his way of compensating for impotence, but the curious wife considers this a sexual challenge, and Soderbergh turns sex, lies, and videotape into a fascinating chamber piece that puts a decidedly different spin on the consequences of infidelity. Balanced on a risky and finely tuned performance by Spader, the film delivers frisky passion and emotional intrigue, and yet much of its allure is found in the exchange of secrets and the hidden mysteries of sexual desire.
