Miranda July / USA / 2005 / 90 mins / 35mm / Cert 15
(Mon 17th - Wed 19th / 8pm / £2)
Indie cool queen Miranda July presents her debut feature, which she writes, directs and stars in.
July plays protaganist Christine Jefferson, a performance artist making art using fantastical visions to make objects of desire come closer. Whilst out doing her day job as an "elder cab driver" she meets recently single shoe salesman Richard Swersey (John Hawkes). The film captures the lives of the everyday characters that surround the two - a pair of teenage girls who play out a blow job competition, an older guy who leaves written messages for the two girls, the daughter who keeps a hope chest, the sons embroiled in a risque internet relationship with a stranger...
Full of plenty of bizarre and surreal moments that make you wonder in awe about the nature of our mundane, yet extraordinary existences.
