Soderbergh shooting handheld from a dolly
In an earlier post — Soderbergh Raids the Ark — I shared Steven Soderbergh’s very revealing experiment in which he turned Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark into a black & white silent movie. Right now I would like to highlight two recently published articles about these two very different and undoubtedly masterful directors. In Steven Spielberg on the Cold War and Other Hollywood Front Lines, Spielberg discusses his new historically based movie, Bridge of Spies, and many other topics with Cara Buckley of the New York Times. In The Binge Director (in New York magazine), Matt Zoller Seitz visits with Soderbergh on the set of his show The Knick. There are many interesting points for young filmmakers and media literacy educators in both of these superb articles.
