There's just something about a videotape.
In 1989, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" billed itself as "the most provocative film of the year." I was surprised to discover upon first watch much later, it's not really about sex tapes, per se, at least not the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee variety. Rather, the story concerns a man who videotapes women talking about their sex lives, confessing secrets and fantasies on camera for him. "Why don't you let me tape you?" James Spader's character asks.
