Steven Soderbergh on Quitting Hollywood, Getting the Best Out of J-Lo, and His Love of Girls by By Mary Kaye Schilling, Vulture, (New York Magazine), February 4, 2013.

[Q]Are there young filmmakers you're excited about?
[A]Shane Carruth. He did the film Primer, and he's got a terrific new movie at Sundance [Upstream Color - see Sundance Review: Why Shane Carruth's Provocative 'Upstream Color' Will Baffle You in the Best Ways by Eric Kohn, Indiewire, January 21, 2013.]

[Q]Are you entirely satisfied with any of your films?
[A]Out of Sight. It's less flawed than the others. Or The Informant! As I look at those two, I feel like I don't know what else I would do.

[Q]What are you reading now?
[A]I tend to alternate between fiction and nonfiction. I just finished a wonderful novel by Paul Murray called Skippy Dies. Right before that, I finished Tony Fletcher's book about the Smiths. They generated a lot of good music in a short time, then kind of burned out and crashed. I recently reread three Raymond Chandler novels, which were amazing all over again. I literally don't think he uses more than 200 different words. Of all the arts, I think the novel comes closest to being inside another person's head. Probably because none of it is being literalized; you're creating the images based on what you're reading, so you're never "wrong."

Mexican Ceramics (1966) - 18 minutes
Iran (1971) - Claude Lelouch. “Far more than a travelogue with pretty pictures, this little-known film won six international awards shortly after its release. 'Iran' consists of spectacular geographical and archaeological footage interspersed with "slice of life" shots, evidencing best juxtapositional editing we've ever seen. This is a buried masterpiece from the director of 'A Man and a Woman,' 'Happy New Year,' and 'And Now My Love.' Lelouch reportedly shot six miles of footage to make this film, which apparently was sponsored by a multinational petroleum pipeline construction firm, as a gift to the Shah's wife.”
