Charles is a confirmed British bachelor with a colorful romantic background who meets the perfect woman, Carrie, at a friend's wedding. However, Charles's hopes of romance are dashed when Carrie announces she must return to America the next morning. The two continue to cross paths at other people's weddings, never finding each other at a time when both are single.

SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE

Written and directed by Steven Soderbergh

James Spader
Andie MacDowell
Peter Gallagher
Laura San Giacomo

Premiere date: January 20, 1989 (Sundance Film Festival)
R

The voyeuristic indie drama paints an intense, intimate portrait of discord among a frigid housewife, her philandering husband, her promiscuous sibling and an intriguing out-of-towner. When Spader arrives with a trunk load of videotapes featuring women who confess their sexual secrets on camera, he gradually turns the quartet's lives inside out.
