About
"Surgery as horror, ambition as addiction"
Set in a New York charity hospital in 1900, this drama follows a brilliant, drug-addicted surgeon and his colleagues as they push medicine into the modern era through raw experimentation, professional rivalry, and the era's brutal racism and class divides. Director Steven Soderbergh shoots it with roving, restless cameras and an anachronistic electronic score, giving period surgery scenes an unsettlingly modern, tense energy. It's slow-building and character-driven rather than plot-twisty, carried by mood, atmosphere, and unflinching medical detail. Clive Owen anchors it with a jittery, magnetic performance as a genius unraveling under his own addiction and ego.
