The Future

The Future (2011) starring Hamish Linklater, Miranda July. I didn't totally understand this film. Jason (Linklater) and Sophie (July) are a 35-ish couple who live together. They try to adopt a cat, but the cat has to be held at the animal shelter because it is injured. They can pick it up in 30 days. The cat talks to the camera. Jason and Sophie decide that they have 30 days in which to live their lives, and then it's all over, so they quit their jobs and disconnect from the Internet. Sophie has an affair. Jason talks to the moon. And various other weird stuff happens. I wanted it to all come together and make sense, but it just refused. Even so, this is a movie that will stay with me as a unique experience, and certainly was unlike any movie I've ever seen before. It has good subtitles, as well as closed captions. Grade: B
