Which is all very pungent, but begs the question: If the Hays code hadn't existed, what would movies have been like? Hopefully, that's a fun thing to imagine.
But if there's one director on the planet who can take bad notices on the chin, it's Soderbergh. When it became clear to him that no one could see the good in The Good German, he was straight on the phone to Warner Bros advising the distributor to scrap the planned wide release, repackage the film for the arthouse, and hit the college towns. You've got to love his transparency. Here he is promoting his new film, and he's openly discussing his strategy for making it a partial flop, rather than a complete one.
Even more admirably, he can zoom back to appreciate the consequences of what may come to be regarded as an expensive folly. More importantly, the person coming in behind me, to pitch something that's off the beaten track - well, sorry, but that's not going to happen. We just shut the door on that for a while. I got to make the movie, I'm happy.
But the two or three people behind me will have to go elsewhere. Soderbergh currently enjoys a position of luxury in the industry, but it hasn't always been like that. After hitting the buffers with his thriller The Underneath, he purged himself with the free-form Schizopolis, one of the most masochistic works ever committed to film: After that picture, which he now describes as a "rebirth", he felt free to reinvent himself with Out of Sight.

That picture was crucial in kick-starting the second, most fruitful phase of Soderbergh's career, and in bringing him together with George Clooney, later to become his semi-regular leading man and co-founder of their now disbanded production company, Section Eight. We were both looked at as people with potential who hadn't delivered.
More importantly, the person coming in behind me, to pitch something that's off the beaten track - well, sorry, but that's not going to happen. Mommacat marked it as to-read Jan 24, His hair is shorn close to his bony scalp, and his features seem too prominent for his thin face. It is, however, suffused with an ambivalence and earthiness that would have been unthinkable then. You need a quality supplier. A corkscrew rollercoaster would have provided a better analogy.
It was a trick of the mind for George and me to show up on set each day and be creatively free when we both knew what the stakes were. If we didn't pull it off - if he didn't prove he was a movie star, if I didn't make something audiences could enjoy - we were in big trouble. Even once Soderbergh was back on track with confident, playful work like Out of Sight and The Limey, he was not one to parrot the party line on the enchanted world of film-making.
The DVD commentary tracks for both those films feature sustained and bitter arguments between Soderbergh and his respective screenwriters, who berate him for every perceived distortion or compromise. I hate these fucking interviews where it's like there's sunshine shooting out of the director's mouth. So I try to be very careful about the syntax I employ.
I don't want to suggest, 'We've done an amazing thing here'. True to his word, he doesn't dispense any glowing adjectives about The Good German. He thinks Solaris contains some good moments but concedes he didn't pull it off.
He's critical of his second film, Kafka, which he is re-editing for DVD. And don't get him started on The Underneath - "horrible Generally, he's in favour of letting history decide.
