Review by Library Journal Review

Winner of the Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or prize and on the National Film Registry, Steven Soderbergh's seminal indie film remains provocative after three decades. Four lives are altered when the visiting college pal (James Spader) of a yuppie lawyer (Peter Gallagher) videotapes the intimate confessions of his frigid wife (Andie MacDowell) and her oversexed younger sister (Laura San Giacomo), with whom the husband is having an affair. Restored in 4K and lent new perspective by its reassembled cast, "sex" shows why it got attention and keeps its staying power. [See Trailers, LJ 6/1/18] © Copyright 2018.
