More than three decades later, Sex, Lies, and Videotape remains a startlingly modern work. It asks: In an age of performance, what does it mean to be truly honest? And if a camera records the truth, who has the right to watch? Truth, confession, and power

Rating: ★★★★½ (Essential viewing for students of film, psychology, and media studies.) Communication, isolation, and gender dynamics

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a young lawyer named John (Peter Gallagher) is having an affair with his wife Ann’s (Andie MacDowell) younger sister, Cynthia (Laura San Giacomo). Ann, frigid and anxious, has been seeing a therapist to discuss her lack of sexual desire. Enter Graham (James Spader), John’s mysterious college friend who drifts back into town after nearly a decade. Graham carries only a few possessions, among them a video camera and a collection of videotapes.

But these are not home movies. Graham has stopped having sex and instead interviews women on camera about their sexual histories, desires, and fantasies — with their full consent. He never watches the tapes with anyone else; they are purely for his own private archive. When Ann discovers Graham’s project and agrees to be recorded, the fragile lies holding her marriage together begin to unravel. The videotape becomes a truth-telling device, exposing not only infidelity but the deeper dishonesty people live with every day.
