Sex, Lies, and Videotape
Sex, Lies, and Videotape styled as sex, lies, and videotape is a 1989 American independent drama film that brought director Steven Soderbergh to prominence. It tells the story of a man who films women discussing their sexuality, and his impact on the relationships of a troubled married couple and the wifes younger sister.
Ann Bishop Mullany lives in Baton Rouge. She is unhappily married to John, a successful lawyer, and has never experienced an orgasm. She is seeing a counselor for her problems. Graham Dalton is an old college friend of John. He is now a seeming drifter who, after nine years, returns to live in Baton Rouge. Graham arrives to find Ann, who has no idea that John has invited Graham to stay with them until he finds an apartment. When John arrives home, Grahams demeanor becomes remarkably more guarded, due in large part to Johns overt disapproval of Grahams bohemian persona. They also discuss the fact that Grahams college girlfriend, Elizabeth, is also living in Baton Rouge.John is sleeping with Anns sister, Cynthia, a freespirited bartender. He rationalizes it by blaming Anns frigidity. He frequently leaves his law office midday to meet with Cynthia, instructing his secretary to reschedule clients who are already in the lobby waiting to see him. Ann makes an impromptu visit to Grahams apartment, where she notices stacks of camcorder tapes around the television. When pressed, Graham explains that he interviews women about their sexual experiences and fantasies, on videotape. Ann, overcome with shock and confusion, flees his apartment. ........
