Film, dischi e libri: il 2014 nella lista di Steven Soderbergh

Sarà che da quando ha annunciato il suo ritiro dalla regia cinematografica ha sicuramente più tempo libero. Sarà che dopo averlo fatto l’anno scorso ci ha preso gusto. Quello che è sicuro è che Steven Soderbergh, nonostante abbia deciso di prendere le distanze da Hollywood, non ha smesso di appassionarsi a tutto quello che concerne la cultura audiovisiva.

Il regista di una delle serie tv migliori della stagione The Knick, ha infatti stilato una enorme lista con tutto ciò che ha visto, ascoltato e letto durante l’anno: non solo film e serie tv quindi ma anche libri e dischi.

Secondo la lista divisa minuziosamente da Soderbergh in base ai giorni, il regista statunitense avrebbe visto, letto e ascoltato 122 film, 214 episodi di serie tv, 35 libri, 17 opere teatrali tra i quali si nota soprattutto il primo sguardo a Magic Mike XXL (di cui non sarà il regista ma solo operatore di macchina) la visione a più riprese di 2001: Odiessa nello spazio e di altri film leggendari come Lo squalo, Casablanca, Il padrino parte II, la duplice visione di Gone girl – L’amore bugiardo, la passione per alcune serie tv in particolare The Americans e Inside Amy Schumer, la lettura di alcuni dei libri più importanti del 2014 e dello script di The library (la pièce teatrale da lui diretta) l’ascolto di alcuni vinili tra cui The Smiths e Queen of the stone age e per finire la visione de La grande bellezza di Paolo Sorrentino.

Ecco la lista completa (che potete trovare anche sul sito del regista)
