This July is truly the month of Soderbergh on home video. Last week, we got Mosaic, and this week, we get the (hopefully) definitive release of sex, lies, and videotape courtesy of Criterion. Soderbergh’s debut, despite its yuppie trappings and unfortunate Weinstein ties, still holds up as an uncommonly well-observed character study, anchored by four absolutely terrific performances and some of Soderbergh’s least showy, but still excellent, direction. Now you can experience all of that in a new 4K transfer and restored sound mix and with an assortment of new features, including recent thoughts from Soderbergh, Cliff Martinez, sound designer Larry Blake, and three-fourths of the cast (James Spader, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the no-show).

Oh, I guess there’s other stuff too. Catalog titles are a little thin, outside of Kino releasing Billy Wilder’s Irma la Douce and Arrow releasing two films from Korean master Hong Sangsoo. New titles, meanwhile, are a hotbed of Greta Gerwig-related controversy (although, to the best of my knowledge, she has not made a statement one way or another on Rampage or Super Troopers 2). I still have not seen I Feel Pretty, so I don’t know if the alleged barbs Greta threw at it were deserved or not (as for whether or not you should talk like she apparently did during a movie, all I’ll say is that I wouldn’t cry if it turned out, like so many internet stories, to be bullshit, but I’m also not crying if she really did it). I have, however, seen Isle of Dogs. It was the subject of much scrutiny upon release over its depiction of Japan and Gerwig’s role as what could be called a white savior, and I must recuse myself from statements one way or another over that element of it, as I am the whitest man in existence. I will say that I liked it a lot, albeit less than the previous three Wes Andersons (and Grand Budapest does the “frothy adventure in the shadow of fascism” thing better), and that this is coming out from Criterion in a few years anyway, so we can talk about it then. Instead, we can talk about Lynne Ramsay’s triumphant return to the screen, You Were Never Really Here, which is sort of like if Limey-era Soderbergh took that approach to filming and editing the script of Inherent Vice.
