Contagion is out already in the US and has opened strongly. We poor put-upon folk in the UK have to wait until 21st October to see it, but it looks excellent and since director Steven Soderbergh rarely puts a foot wrong and more often than not puts it very right, it should be well worth the wait.
In this clip, Damon is interviewed about the scene (presumably pretty early on) when his character is told that his wife has died. As he discusses the choices that were made, the progress of his character through the scene and the alternating shock, anger and disbelief he portrays, you are left feeling increasingly confident that this material is going to be well handled.
