Film Quiz Friday | Club Soderbergh

Is this your first time being quizzed? You’re doing great – this week’s film quiz has some questions about Steven Soderbergh movies.

---

You’re never too far away from the next Steven Soderbergh movie – even retirement didn’t slow him down for long. For this quizmaster at least, that’s no bad thing, especially when he bounces between genres and styles as he does, most recently between January’s supernatural family drama Presence and this week’s new spy thriller Black Bag. I’m a big fan, not least of how many different films there are to ask questions about in this week’s themed round.

Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. You’d better get on with the quiz or there’ll be another new Soderbergh movie along any moment…
