    Throughout the film, the protagonist views himself in a different light from those around him. "It seemed like a Billy Wilder movie in a way, with Matt as Jack Lemmon ... I enjoy making the Ocean films because it is a justifiable way of playing with the camera, but in a movie like this, my job is to let the performance take position front and centre, just be simple." For all his creative genius, Soderbergh could never be described as a maverick. Full Article at The Telegraph

  7. If it wasn’t me, it’d have been someone else ... I’m not a flake. I had an unusual approach for that film, yet it was designed to make the most money possible.
