Everything Steven Soderbergh Watched And Read In 2015
For the pastcouple of years, directorSteven Soderbergh(Traffic) has been keeping track of everything he watches and reads in a year. Considering he was recently working on season two of Cinemax’sThe Knick, it’s kind of astonishing how much entertainment he consumed this year.
Find out what Steven Soderbergh watched and read in 2015 after the jump.
Soderbergh actually notes below when he started principal photography onThe Knick, and yet he still found the time for the shows he watches. The director posts these lists, amongst hisre-editsand swag, on his website,Extension 765, and this list just really makes me wish he’d make a Letterboxd account, because who wouldn’t follow that account?
