You Know It's Steven Soderbergh IF...

[@HBarnill]

Soderbergh doesn't get enough credit. He's a true auteur. Not taking any crap from major studios.

[@sinan4572]

Do you know his instagram ?

[@Whoa802]

In the technical sense, yes. But he's a bit too workmanlike and impersonal to be considered an artist in the same vein as PTA or Quentin Tarantino. He makes movies for craft and craft alone, with no real point of view or intellect being expressed in any way whatsoever. He's good, but a bit boring.

[@muditmalhotra86]

@@Whoa802 this is a really, really accurate viewpoint. this makes me think whether this impersonality in his work is what he's essentially after? because for all that he does, i don't think he'd actually care for his work as an invention instead of a product. nonetheless, i'm quite excited for every soderbergh release myself, hahahaha!

[@kangaroo3708]

@@Whoa802 Impersonal? How so? His movies all have a handmade feel, you know a SODERBERGH movie when you see it. You can’t watch Erin Brockovich or Magic Mike and come away thinking his work has no heart…. How is it impersonal???

[@HotStrange]

One of the best and most underrated directors ever.

[@saloksingh7]

Underrated? I don't think he's underrated at all.

[@CannibalWHORE22]

He’s super underrated

[@HotStrange]

@@saloksingh7 maybe overlooked would be a better word.

[@vaughnamir.6457]

@@HotStrange he has an Oscar. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

[@Fl0k5ser]

He's not underrated but he has made some underrated movies but also have made some very well known movies like the Ocean trilogy

[@Twinklitezond]

this video is a godsend. Soderbergh is a goddam genius and he should stop saying he's quitting directing films.

[@HotStrange]

Jack Torrence Agreed. Super underrated. Schizopolis is a masterpiece.

[@rickardkaufman3988]

@@HotStrange Underrated? The guy has won the Best Director Award at both the Oscars for directing Traffic and Emmys for directing Behind The Candelabra and even has won the Palme D'Or.

[@area51pictures]

If any of you at ScreenPrism peruse these comments, please give my regards to Susannah and Olivia. Distilling any filmmaker's signature is near impossible, but a chameleon like him is especially challenging. Truly, I've never once heard him detailed so succinctly. Your analysis of how he approaches characterization was sublime. Always felt he was far more of a humanist, so to finally hear that in such a qualified, unpretentious, yet non-reductive way was a warm surprise.

[@evisser2482]

These are my favorite videos! Keep them coming, so good!

[@edfagan4251]

No Limey? That may be his best film. Deserving of a stand-alone essay, perhaps?

[@CannibalWHORE22]

One of the few daring directors of recent memory! Always has great performances in each of his movies

[@yoyoyo5621]

He is a genius I think his only drawback is that he doesn't always get a script that can match upto his level of craft

[@vicenteortegarubilar9418]

I think this videos are great, the nolan video and this are really good and I hope there are more like this with other directors or maybe screenwritters, cinematographers, special effects engineers or others. Great work

[@vicenteortegarubilar9418]

Maybe stunt doubles, they have their own styles of choreography

[@marcguidobolen693]

okay when making a video essay the narration must take pauses. It gives us a time to breath and to actually think about what the video is trying to tell us. It honestly is exhausting listing to constant talking.

[@HotStrange]

Mraq Bolen you can hear that they cut all that out to make it run together it. It’s not a bad video but can be exhausting.

[@williamgoss4691]

(Really) Excellent !! Cerebral, without being over analytical. Expounding, but with precision. And some beautifully precision clips.

[@CoinOpTV]

my fave Steven movies are when he shoots em also - hope Logan Lucky is good

[@rahallivex]

loved Behind the candelabra !!! very underrated movie.

[@1qwasz12]

Oh Lord! He directed that POS? smh

[@rahallivex]

1qwasz12 what are you talking about. It was a great movie.

[@isabellabornberg2153]

Wes Anderson would be reasonably easy I believe

[@rainer_uncrowned]

Wow these videos deserve way more views.

[@alevtinasherman3411]

An analysis of film scores would also be fantastic. You know it's a Hans Zimmer / John Williams / James Horner score, if...

[@zucchinigreen]

You should check out the channel Sideways. I think that's what it's called. They look at music in film.

[@iansmart4158]

This was great, but We didn't see much reference of the films pre Out of Sight and Post Sex, Lies, and Videotape. Not a complaint, but its just interesting. So much of his style started with Out of Sight that we tend to forget the 3 or 4 films he made prior to that one.

[@rohithkumarsp]

2017 an era where Movies are good in rare, TV shows are becoming movies and KZbin Channels becoming like TV shows. all for good.

[@boombang5750]

Do Denis Velneuve. The director of Sicario, Prisoners.

[@martyruhweza6262]

I really love your channel, and your videos are all super amazing But you are speaking way too fast here!! It's tough for us to watch and listen and comprehend, when the cuts are happening so quickly and the VO narration is going by rapidly as well. I suggest that you slow down the narration a bit and give us the audience some time to process, or you could let scenes connected to your argument play out a little longer in support of the points you are making. I'm only trying to help :)

[@user-mb9nm7bq5e]

I loved you sofia copolla video. and your voice is the best. plz do kubrick next

[@rawtaa8591]

Traffic has to be one of the best movies of all time!

[@awimbaweman]

Soderberg also has an indie film which would be interesting to analize, Schizopolis

[@BarnabyJones07]

His show The Knick is the best show I've ever watched so far

[@harikishan923]

An absolutely fantastic video! Great job compiling this. Loved it.

[@jqyhlmnp]

I don’t think you know if you’re watching a Steven Soderbergh film. He tries new things every chance he gets (without trying it for “trying sake”)

It's funny because they were both really early supporters of the RED digital cameras, so they're actually friends irl.

Soderbergh is slightly overrated I love him as a film maker but not everything he's done is gold lol

[@Whoa802]

He's technically proficient and sound, he just lacks a unique original voice. The way he makes movies feels very impersonal and workmanlike most of the time. He doesn't have the awe-inspiring auteur qualities of a Chris Nolan or a Quentin Tarantino.

[@kangaroo3708]

⁠​⁠@@Whoa802 He’s a different type of director to those two. He’s not a writer so he’s always directing other peoples scripts, and I feel he always elevates the material. When he’s on form like in Erin Brockovich or Traffic he’s amazing.

[@kalashnikov1997]

I would sell my mother to slavery just to see a video like this about Lars Von Trier.

[@Jboogie_81]

Overrated director

[@Whoa802]

He's good but he is a bit bland and workmanlike. He doesn't have the unique, artistic voice of a Scorsese or Tarantino. He makes movies purely for craft alone.

[@kangaroo3708]

@@Whoa802 No he doesn’t He’s very experimental but definitely not bland. He’s so unique!
