"If I'm such a commodity, how come nobody went to see The Good German," Steven Soderbergh asks at one point during our conversation. He’s being half-facetious and half-serious when posing the question. At 46, Soderbergh has already earned every professional accolade a film director can, including the Palme D'Or for his debut, Sex, Lies and Videotape, and the Oscar for his drug war opus Traffic. His frequent collaborators now include George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Brad Pitt (who is starring in...

A terrific interview - possibly one of the best I've read on the site. The questions were excellent and SS seems a pretty sharp interviewee. I don't even know if the Girlfriend Experience has a UK distributor, but I hope so!

Nice interview. I'm one of the geeks who tries to watch all of his films. I look up to him more than any other director.

ALWAYS watch his films, eventually. And a couple of them are favorites. But there is just so little that can actually get me to pay $20 (or more) to go to a theater these days. In my opinion that would be part of why "nobody" went to see 'The Good German'. It's just so hard to be inspired to spend that much money on something you're not sure you're going to love when you could get it on Netflix in six months. The upside of this had been DVDs as they'd (mostly) become priced near the cost of ONE PERSON going to a theater. But with the slow switch to BluRay in full affect that's not always the case these days.

I just watched it and it was BORING...!!! Nice that he is still making independent films but this type of movie had been done. If you want to see a really good film of his which has yet o amke it to DVD ( except in Europe I believe ) try to find Kafka starring Jeremy Irons. This is Soderberghs best film.

The Solaris remake is my favorite Soderberg film. Everyone thinks I'm nuts. I'm going to try and watch the Girlfriend Experience tonight tho.
