Winner of the 1989 Palme d'Or and the movie that ignited director Steven Soderbergh’s career, Sex, Lies, and Videotape is consumed within the ways that people expose themselves via verbal expressions. Voyeurism is also a significant theme, and Soderbergh competently transforms the viewer into an eavesdropper from the outset with dialogue that sizzles with humour and truth. Directing his own script, his debut as a filmmaker, Soderbergh displays remarkable self-confidence and elegant camerawork, providing a critical dramatic velocity to the sidestepping and disclosures of personal information. Produced on a shoestring budget, this is an emotionally distinct and insightfully written drama.

With a title nod to Jonathan Swift’s satirical novel, Gulliver's Travels, this 1941 comedy written and directed by Preston Sturges ridicules some of the idealistic notions of some of his contemporaries while attempting to wrestle with a small quantity of his own. It's the deftness of the mockery that succeeds in delivering the desired results and safeguards studio heads like Mr Lebrand (Robert Warwick ) being not just insignificant send-ups but characters with ample to offer, including a practical standpoint of the plight of the world. Sturges energetically satirises both sides of this movie‘s themes with plaintiveness and compassion.

Initially conjured up as a ninety-minute television pilot, this is an evocative and unnerving story of ill-fated affection, jealousy, and evaporating dreams in the city of Los Angeles. It's a beautiful and mysterious neo-noir with numerous layers which never fully get answered yet, as typical with David Lynch movies, have a real depth of emotion to them. It incorporates a translucent strength of surrealistic filmmaking to distort an ostensibly straightforward film noir by way of his extraordinary and unique imagination.
