Steven Soderbergh has a decent amount of decent movies under his belt, and obviously a few misfires too. But now the director who is quitting Hollywood has one more movie up his sleeve. Teaming up with Channing Tatum and Jude Law, Soderbergh directs Side Effects. A movie revolving around depression, some new fangled prescription drugs and a whole big blur between fantasy and reality. The trailer below looks interesting, granted Tatum looks a little bit too clean cut.
Soderbergh spoke to Vultue Magazine recently about a plethora of things (it’s well worth a read) and said “Just to be clear, I won’t be directing “cinema,” for lack of a better word. But I still plan to direct — theater stuff, and I’d do a TV series if something great were to come along.”
So if this is his last movie, lets hope its a good one!
Synopsis: Once a successful New York couple, Emily (Rooney Mara) and her husband (Channing Tatum) are now struggling to readjust to life after his recent release from prison. Emily is plagued with a clinical depression and, following a car crash, is referred to respected psychiatrist Dr Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) who offers the latest in prescription drugs to try and alleviate her anxiety.
However as Emily’s relationship with both Dr Banks and her prescribed medication intensifies, she finds herself descending into a chemical-fuelled nightmare where the lines between fantasy and reality become dangerously blurred.
From visionary director Steve Soderbergh comes a riveting psychological thriller where neither the symptoms nor the cure are quite as straightforward as they seem .
Released: Feb 8th USA / IRELAND & UK March 8th
