Summary:

Ever-inventive Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh has changed his spots once again. His new film Full Frontal is a running-and-gunning romantic comedy set in Los Angeles, inspired by digital technology and the Dogme 95 manifesto, and shot in just eighteen days with a stellar cast.

Coleman Hough's screenplay is described by Soderbergh as the 'unauthorised sequel' (albeit only 'in the karmic sense') to his celebrated debut feature from 1989, sex, lies and videotape. Full Frontal is an ensemble piece, following a handful of characters over a period of twenty-four hours. They all have some form of connection to each other, even if they are not completely aware of it. Linda (played by Mary McCormack) would love to be loved. Carl (David Hyde Pierce) loves his wife, Lee (Catherine Keener). Lee is looking to be loved by Calvin (Blair Underwood). Calvin plays Nicholas, who discovers he's in love with Catherine (Julia Roberts). Catherine, who is really Francesca, finds true love. And Gus (David Duchovny) loves himself.

The screenplay is prefaced by 'The Rules', a ten-point charter by Soderbergh that accompanied the scripts sent out to actors, advising them of both the pros ('You will have fun whether you want to or not') and the cons ('Meals will vary in quality') that come with no-frills guerrilla film-making.
