The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who directed all six episodes of the Max series, also talks to The Hollywood Reporter about his hesitation around returning to a branching narrative like the one he used in 'Mosaic' and considered for 'Full Circle': 'It's not clear to me that this form of storytelling is needed or even wanted by audiences.'
“You think it’s about this group of well-off white people being victimized. And then over the course of the show, the whole thing starts to tilt,” Soderbergh told a group of reporters in a June roundtable discussion. “By the end of it, we’re in a very different place than where we started. So it was this melodrama that had this very interesting subterranean thematic thread bubbling along that eventually comes up and takes primacy in the last two episodes.
Soderbergh called brother and sister, Louis and Natalia the “real heart of the story.” After disrupting the kidnapping, they are able to return to Guyana thanks to some unexpected help. The siblings “are the only people who managed to get out of this,” Soderbergh told reporters. “Although at the end of it, they’re sort of back to where they started. I guess they’ve learned something, but it’s not a happy conclusion. It’s good; they survived.
The series ends with Louis and Natalia walking around the unfinished Colony at Essequibo, the ill-fated development that connected the series’ Guyanese characters with Danes’ character’s family, and a pan over to a billboard advertising that the aborted project is “coming in 2003.”But while the final image was set from the beginning, many things changed from when Solomon and Soderbergh first started working on the project.
