The Big Picture While streaming is convenient and accessible, it has stripped the film community of relics that we used to take for granted. The decline in physical media production and sales is indicative of the prevalence of streaming services. DVDs and Blu-rays were not just collectible items, they also assured the consumer that they would own a copy of a film forever, without the risk of a streamer abruptly pulling it from their library.
Run Time 89 minutes Director Steven Soderbergh Release Date October 8, 1999 Actors Terence Stamp, Lesley Ann Warren, Luis Guzmán, Barry Newman, Peter Fonda Steven Soderbergh Perfected His Cinematic Vision with 'The Limey' The DVD commentary, an audio track that played over the film primarily featuring commentary by the director or various cast members, was a staple of the heyday of physical media.
Steven Soderbergh and Lem Dobbs Spar Over Creative Differences in 'The Limey's Commentary Track Close However, not everyone was a fan of Soderbergh's vision, including the person who drafted the film, screenwriter Lem Dobbs, who expressed his frustration with the director's artistic decisions on the commentary track.
While a critically acclaimed film, Dobbs believed Soderbergh unjustly mangled his script. Dobbs, who wrote Soderbergh's second film, Kafka, expresses a sense of betrayal from his director. In his mind, The Limey was more of a grand statement on the psychological burden of revenge and the insatiable thirst for violence, but Soderbergh opted to experiment with nonlinear storytelling and avant-garde editing techniques.
