Laura Giacomo

A few independent films have had a profound influence on the sex industry as well as director Steven Soderbergh, Lies, and Videotape. In 1989, when the movie came out and took the world by storm because it was a movie that talked about sex and it's effect on people. It has been flawless and new audiences, did not know what to do with him other than his kind of reminds them of their own lives. Their own relationships in this fragmented world we live in.
Even today, the film has an impact both on the theme of isolation and self-discovery within the limits of our relationship with ourselves and others is even more. James Spader, Andie MacDowell, Peter Gallagher and Laura San Giacomo give honest performances as people who are trapped in relationships they can not get out. We all felt this way at some point in our lives and this film opens the door just to prove to the world.
Soderbergh is no stranger to reveal the fragility of human nature which has in films like Full Frontal and Solaris and movement, and here, in this film that human nature is laid bare to all. For.
Made at the height of the age of consumer video cameras, this discovery was also a voyeuristic look at Graham (Spader) is presented as someone whom the woman talks with her camera and uses it as a means of self-discovery that ultimately he can not find. Only by Ann (McDowell), who initially pushed the use of the video camera as a way to reveal the thoughts and demons, which turns the camera on Graham in the hope of help to reveal his own thoughts and demons. For all the good that the camera performs, it is also a crutch that prevents Graham to see the truth about himself.
The film in difficult conditions is one of the purest Soderbergh film before its film studio (such as Ocean's Eleven and Erin Brockovich), in which all the characters are flawed yet honest and real.
