...felt like I rushed.” With any other director, the quip might have been left on the cutting room floor, but with its inclusion, Soderbergh breaks down cliche and gives himself licence to stretch the bounds of convention. Dusty avoids the Rat Pack’s liquid lunch of scotch and soda and instead spoons yogurt by the crateful, and Linus munches antacid tablets like they’re candy—neither are prototypical two-bit hoods...

Mincing garlic focuses this attention. Blending pine nuts and basil into pesto, caramelizing onions, stirring chicken broth into risotto until precisely the correct amount of liquid has evaporated, sprinkling a touch more turmeric into a pot of chicken curry—these things are all food focuses, they nurture the part of my brain that inevitably wanders to the pantry. but they are productive and do not involve eating. I know this is sort of an alarming thing to say; however much olive oil I use in place of butter to create healthy meals, the root of my love...
