How does the protean Steven Soderbergh—the rare indie trailblazer inventive and confident enough to play in Hollywood on his own terms—follow up a glossy studio picture starring some of the world’s most glamorous movie stars? By shooting an absolutely riveting little tragedy in High Def in an Ohio doll factory, starring non-professional actors as enthralling in their untrained sincerity as George Clooney is in his expert panache. The stunted tale of doll-assembler Martha (an astonishing, sustained performance by real-life cashier Debbie Doebereiner), her young factory friend Kyle, and Rose, the thorny new hire, packs shades of mystery, menace, triangular romantic jealousy, and everyday punch-the-clock ennui into its documentary-style contours. And that’s even before the violent death…. This haunting experimental project is the first in a series of low-budget dramas Soderbergh plans to shoot around America.  72 min.  USA, 2005  A Magnolia Pictures Release.
*Director expected to attend.
