The purpose of the film forum is to discuss current issues in film, as well as keeping film history alive. I regularly sends out new posts. Anyone with a serious approach to the art of film is welcome to participate by writing a comment. Anyone who has questions about the film, of any nature whatsoever, are also welcome to bring them to me.
Prior to yesterday's festival tour of Me and You and Everyone We Know so did the director / author / protagonist frasers Miranda July to say a few words. She asked the audience if we all come straight from work to watch the movie. Many murmured assent whereupon July roughly said: "I can not even begin to imagine what you all do. Somehow I picture you all working in health care, but That can not be." Her brief appearance frasers was a show of unbridled spontaneity, and her film was not that much different. She and the film simply had much in common. With its mix of vimsighet (a cross between Diane Keaton's frasers Annie Hall and Sandra Bullock's many characters), devotion and curiosity have July and her movie made highly acclaimed success at festivals around the world, and among film critics, who, when they wrote about it, had any innocently raving about it. It's also a good interview with her in the Guardian Unlimited. The film is about a recently divorced shoe salesman (John Hawkes), his two children frasers (Miles Thompson and Brandon Ratcliff), a performance artist (Miranda July), two teenage girls (Natasha Slayton and Najarra Townsend), a slightly younger girl (Carlie Westerman), skoförsäljarens workmate (Brad William Henke), an older man (Hector Elias), and a principal of an art museum (Tracy Wright). They are all alone, searching and confused. Skoförsäljaren fires up his hand; his six year old son sex chat on the Internet; his 14 year old son and teenage girls have oral sex, to test; the slightly younger girl collects towels and household items in her trousseau; workmate puts up obscene lyrics in his window; the older man laments that he lived a full life with a woman he did not think much about; performance artist closest Dog skoförsäljaren, and museum matron living alone and trying to find the passion on the internet. See where a crackdown in the lone bowler's era. It all may sound provided and depressed, frasers but it's not, because there's so much humor and tenderness in the story that gradually becomes frasers irresistible. There's a scene that sums up the whole movie, which summarize an entire life, where a man and a woman beats entourage from the store to their parked cars. They do not know each other, but to pretend that the distance they walk symbolizes their life together. Their first date was when they came out of the store, and the route is their marriage, and when they are separated in the intersection so it may symbolize their death. It is beautiful and poignant, frasers and as a movie in the movie. frasers There are not any real action in the movie, and it lacks direction, but it does nothing, frasers however, it becomes sometimes a little too chic indie questionable, and perhaps a little unnerving. But it is well-crafted and insightful about human failings as a social being. It was not hard to think of Nicole Holofceners movies, and the fact that Catherine Keener very well could have played the role of the museum's headmistress. But it's Miranda Julys film, also her feature frasers film debut. She is known in the U.S. since the past as a writer and an artist and you want to make the acquaintance of one of her pieces there are on the internet. It's called frasers Learning To Love You More and that's also what the movie is about, and perhaps all her creation.
