Trafic

“Traffic. My dad’s in Traffic. My dad has one scene in Traffic and my dad was complaining that he only had one scene in a movie. And I saw this movie, and I called him and I said, “Do you know how lucky you are to be in Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic?” A non-linear style, I don’t know, there’s something about the anecdotes of looking back and connecting different points in your life and seeing where they intersect, and creating a whole narrative out of that. And Traffic is brilliantly done.”

“, God, Steven Soderbergh, Traffic. Just seminal. It’s about the drug trade and its many impacts and manifestations. This movie made a massive impression on me.”

“Traffic by Soderbergh. It's a fantastic movie. For me Soderbergh is jazz. It's a band. I have always the feeling that he's not an auteur like an artist of the 19th century, that he needs a band and they make jam sessions and the movie is the jam session. Ocean's 11 is like a band who has a concert in Amsterdam or concert in Rome, and Traffic, it's a concert in the middle of the American hearts.”

“Traffic. Amazing film.”

“I’m going to grab Traffic because Steven Soderbergh is one of my favorite directors. I think that he is so incredible. And you know what? His style seems to me to change based on the story he’s telling. It’s not like he has one particular style, one particular look. It feels so inconspicuous to me, even though something like this is interesting because, in Traffic, it’s the story of drugs and politics and sex, and we’re seeing different storylines that are differently color-graded.”
