Steven Soderbergh
Born: 1963
Thank God for Soderbergh, the wunderkind made good. There aren't many A-list directors now working who still make each film count on its own merits, who have such supple grasp of formula and expectation, and who are capable of making intellectually rigorous entertainments that delight so subtly, on so many levels. Even if he's never matched the incandescent frankness of his archetypal indie, sex, lies and videotape, we've at least got him back now, after a wilderness period of over-conceptualised, albeit challenging, art projects. His chameleonic range and sensibility are priceless blessings to contemporary American film.
