Soderbergh continued to plough his own furrow, producing numerous successful films along the way, such as Out of Sight, Erin Brokovich, and Ocean's Eleven. As well as having an introductory essay, in this book each of Soderbergh's films is reviewed and analyzed. There's a handy reference section listing all the Soderbergh related publications, and a full filmography, including Soderbergh's tireless work as a producer and cameraman.
