Sex, Lies, and Videotape (Criterion Collection)

Steven Soderbergh wrote and directed this witty, revealing, masterfully acted look at the sexual games people play. A philandering husband (Peter Gallagher), his frigid wife (Andie MacDowell), and his sultry mistress (Laura San Giacomo)-who is also his wife's sister-have their lives turned upside down when hubby's emotionally distressed college friend (James Spader) arrives in town armed with a video camera he likes to use to record women talking about their sexual proclivities. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
