#09. The Future – Miranda July

It will be one of the most sought after films to see and potentially buy – big question: what section will The Future show in? Miranda July’s long awaited return since 2005’s Me and You and Everyone We Know is a relationship comedy with Hamish Linklater toplining.

Formerly titled “Satisfaction”, this is a contempo romantic comedy turns on a young couple: Jason, goes off on an ecological mission; Sophie starts an affair with an older man. Both events threaten the relationship. In the filmmaker’s own words: “We haunt oursevles, googling our own name, perpetually clicking on search … because if we’re always searching then we never have to notice that we’ve found it, we’re there, this is really it.”

* Producers: Gina Kwon (The Motel) with Razor Films’ Gerhard Meixner & Roman Paul
