The Future
The Future 2011, Written and directed by Miranda July. Starring Miranda July, Hamish Linklater and David Warshofsky.
The Future is a whimsical film about a non committal couple in their mid 30’s who have been together for 4 years but appear to lead a “boring life”. Jason is a tech support worked who works from home and Sophie is a children's dance teacher who is trying to make a you-tube dance video in her spare time. Sophie and Jason decide to about to adopt a sick talking cat called Paw Paw. They find out that they can’t take Paw Paw home for a month and realise they want to spend the next 30 days living before the shackles of owning a pet “tie them down”. They turn off the internet and quit their jobs only to find things don’t really go according to plan....
I loved this film, not only because of the beautifully minimalistic way it’s shot but because Miranda July seems to carry through her quirky sense of style which is reflected in the characters, their relationships and interactions with each other.
It was really my cup of tea.
