Fortunately
for the movie world, and more so for the discerning audiences, some
good film directors don't always sell themselves out for attractive
capitals. Steven Soderbergh is one if those rare species, who confessed
unabashed that he accepted to direct the 'Ocean Eleven' saga for money,
to enable him to embark on underground projects he is truly passionate
about. Like the one he had in hand at the time, the 'Girlfriend
Experience', with a team of just 6 people. The film was about deluxe
prostitution, starring the real life porno queen Sasha Grey.
During the return of one of his rarities ''Schizpholis' in New York, Soderbergh told the press that film had cost a less than modest budget of $200,000 in 1996, which demonstrated his willingness to continue exploring with experimental films like 'Bubble' and later the 'Girlfriend Experience', a small and intimate story. "After a whole year dedicated to 'Che' I feel like getting my teeth into something totally opposite".
Sounds exactly the type of film that usually attracts me, more so than the big budgeted Hollywood extravaganzas, too often with deafening sounds, over abundance of special effects generated by computers, and an mere excuse of a story. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but in recent months there seem to be an awful lot of films and TV productions on or around the subject of sex and prostitution. The oldest business must still be the best business.
