| I knew that Steven Soderbergh was a big fan of The Third Man—I had heard him mention Robert Krasker’s cinematography in interviews, and more recently he had talked about watching the film during prep for The Good German. I also know he’s one of the best when it comes to DVD commentaries. I worked with him during the production of our release of Traffic, and then again on Schizopolis, and I realized he’s about as good as they get. He knows film history and all aspects of the process. For those of you who aren’t aware, Steven has shot all of his films since Traffic. |
| He sat down with us for a conversation about The Battle of Algiers; recorded a commentary with Lodge Kerrigan for Clean, Shaven; and suggested we look at William Greaves’s Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One—a film we decided to pick up. |
| He was sitting down with Mike Nichols in celebration of the fortieth anniversary of Nichols’s The Graduate (no, not for Criterion). |
