Sex, Lies, and Videotape is a 1989 American independent drama written and directed by Steven Soderbergh in his feature directing debut. Set in Baton Rouge, it follows a troubled married couple whose lives are disrupted by a mysterious drifter who videotapes women discussing their private desires and fantasies. The film won the Palme dOr at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, making Soderbergh, at 26, the youngest solo director ever to win the award, and its success is widely credited with helping revive American independent film in the early 1990s; in 2006 it was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry.
