"The Future": When the otaku woman meets a cat

When a plot begins with a cat with a slightly creepy narration, you should be prepared for this film may not be easy to see. The film tells the story: a pair of 30-Year-old, married 4 years of the need for curtilage couples, male is the computer system technology customer service, the so-called job is to answer the phone at home to tell people how to restart the computer. The woman is a child dance teacher who can not dance, two people's daily life is to occupy the corner of the sofa, carrying a computer on the Internet, and occasionally for who should go to pour a cup of water a little controversy. The two of them were living a dead life because of an injured kitten. The two people thought that the little cat had not much time, so they intend to adopt it, but later learned that the kitten may live another 2, 3 years. Realizing that even the less capable and responsible couples thought they might not be able to live so carefree in the future, they decided to indulge themselves in the last one months before adopting the kitten to do something they love to do. The actor resigned from the door to work, and finally out of the house to sell the seedlings door-to-door. The heroine also quit her job, trying to make her own dance videos like the Internet Reds she's concerned about. Just as the two men "enjoy" the last freedom, the kitten is looking forward to the early adoption of the new life.　　In the end, the irony is that two people in the new life, although they have a new understanding of their lives and love, but pay the price is very heavy, the heroine out of the track, two people divided hands, kitten eventually died in the conservation Center. If there is not a talking cat, a talking moon and a time to stop Dafa's hero, this film seems to be just a typical literary film to explore life and love. But it is these strange elements that add some color to this kind of black-and-white film, although the kitten's voice is a bit creepy, but the sentence is full of philosophy, the hero in his own stream of consciousness, the whole world time to stop, and then he launched a dialogue with the moon. There are still a lot of jokes in the film, including the lack of life on the face of the daily dialogue and occasionally through a hint of humor. The film's lens language is not very rich, but occasionally there will be some clever jumps, the hero tried to let himself out of the house to be a salesman, the result in an old neighbour's tongue, trance between found himself bought this old man's all his possessions.　　And the heroine's experience is more obscure and dark, after a few shots of the switch, she plunged into a single middle-aged life. Perhaps because of the character's need, the two stars are a lifeless look in the film, but surprisingly effective in this somewhat poetic, sometimes somewhat bizarre, film. The actress, Miranda-Choulai (Miranda July), is also the director of the film, and the female director, who is famous for her "Love You and Me" (Me and you and Everyone Know), is American alone.A talented woman in a film director, although there are some exaggerated and inexplicable expressions in the future, as a director who directed only a film of a minister, Miranda's ingenious conception of the plot and the bold expression of the character's inner world are embodied in the film.　　The news that the film was inspired by the personal experience of Milan, whether true or not, the film is full of individual color, which also gives the future of Miranda is full of anticipation. "Future" earlier at the Sundance Film Festival debut when the evaluation is mixed, some critics believe that the film is too personal and unclear location, compared to the "love you and I he" such a comedy work "The Future" is more like a laugh, wandering outside the audience of narcissistic works. This is probably the biggest test of the film, perhaps the judges of the Berlin Film Festival will be some people in the trance after watching the film shrugged: "A otaku and curtilage women and a talking cat, but this xx and I what matter?"
