I also like the one he does with Scott Frank for the OUT OF SIGHT DVD... full of wonderful dry humor as is Soderbergh's trademark. Yeah, that commentary is one for the ages.

The interview Dan Schneider conducted with Lem Dobbs is a must-read. I also found the DVD audio commentary tremendously insightful. Soderbergh is one of the few directors willing to share the mic with the screenwriter. Dobbs pays him back by making no bones about what he finds lacking in the movie and in Soderbergh as a director. At one point, Soderbergh shoots back, "So, when are you going to direct?" Great stuff and I'm looking forward to the next Soderbergh/Dobbs collaboration myself. J.D.: Thanks so much for commenting.

What I like most about this film is how the editing and pacing try to replicate the way Wilson's mind is working as he tries to sort out and come to grips with his daughter's death. While the absence of Ann-Margret's scene is regrettable, I think Soderbergh did the right thing keep the film as lean as it is. I'm glad you included the link to that epic interview with Dobbs at Cosmetica. Wow, was that a helluva read! Amazing stuff. I am really looking forward to Dobbs' new collaboration with Soderbergh in a big way. What an excellent review for one of Soderbergh’s best film.
