Steven Soderbergh on the Gore, the Grind, and the Glory of Making ‘The Knick’
Steven Soderbergh has directed award-winning films like Traffic and Sex, Lies, and Videotape , as well as crowd-pleasers like Out of Sight and Ocean’s Eleven. He’s gone back in time with The Good German , and looked unnervingly prescient with Contagion . No job in his long and distinguished career, though, may have brought him more fulfillment than the 20 episodes of television he directed over two seasons of The Knick , the period medical drama that aired on Cinemax from 2014 to 2015 and has just come to HBO Max . “My wife has told me many times,” Soderbergh says, “‘That’s as happy as I’ve ever seen you working on anything.'” Set at a fictionalized version of Manhattan’s famed Knickerbocker Hospital at the turn of the 20th century, The Knick was created by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, and starred Clive Owen as chief surgeon John “Thack” Thackeray, who used cocaine as an anesthetic on his patients, then got hooked on the drug himself.

Neither the drug dealers nor their storytellers were particularly good at sticking to plans. Much of what made Breaking Bad one of TV’s greatest series ever was how both the show and its main characters backed themselves into corners, then found a way out — usually involving a very big explosion. The most important deviation from the blueprint came very early. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan had assumed that Jesse would introduce Walt to the drug world, then get killed. Instead, Aaron Paul proved so utterly compelling in the role that Jesse not only survived, but in time was treated as Walt’s narrative equal. When the series ended, Walt was lying dead on a meth lab … [Read more...] about ‘El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’ Review: Fan Service Firing on All Cylinders
