I remember reading about this Soderbergh’s biopic film project from one of N’s weekly rants. Behind The Candelabra, tells a story about a period of time of the pianist Liberace focusing on the duration where Liberace was involved with one of his lover, Scott Thorson. The film adapted from a memoir under the same name by Scott Thorson himself. Soderbergh did not manage to secure the finances to create this movie (apparently the refusal was because the film seemed too gay), until HBO films giving him the greenlight. The movie wouldn’t received a wide theatrical release, but it aired on HBO, and was eligible to compete for Palm d’Or at 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
