I’m interning for the summer at the Traverse City Film Festival, and part of my job has been browsing through catalogs from several of the major film festivals such as Sundance, Tribeca, Berlin, etc. I was thrilled to see that two of my favorite directors have new films out! The first is Miranda July’s “The Future”
I fell in love with her debut feature, “Me You and Everyone We Know”. Visual poetry with music that makes you smile and a script that bites your little heart. To me, the woman can do no wrong.
The second film is Catherine Breillat’s “The Sleeping Beauty”. She is continuing the fairy tale theme started with her last film “Bluebeard”. I am a big fan of a film she directed several years ago, “The Last Mistress”, though critics have used such descriptors as “melodramatic” and “over-the-top” when discussing it.
They remind me of the screenplay I need to finish writing…
