'''Miranda July<br/>
'''Me and you everyone we know''' ||| (2005), feature film, 91mins<br/><br/>

Me and You and Everyone We Know is romantic comedy-drama film written and directed and also self-acted one of the main roles by Miranda July.<br/>

The story is formed by several sublines: a shoe salesman, his two boys and his ex-wife, a video artist at the beginning of her career who works as a transporter of retired people, a curator, teenage girls' first experience attracting the opposite gender.<br/>
The film shows their everyday life.<br/>
<br/>
With its vast range of different characters in every sense the film has the ability to deal with a lot of theme's of the very present questions, trends of the 21th century.<br/>
<br/>The two brothers line is about the 'next' generation, who grows up in this relatively new computerized world. What they are wondering all day long sitting in school is getting home in front of their CRT monitor and go online to chat with strangers. It shows us also who natively talent they are in this world, even if the younger one is just enough aged to read and write. They are living in a word of web spread 'memes' and their transfuses and influence on their everyday lives. And as a side effect, they become nearly totally separated from their own parents (the previous generation), no matter how hard their father the salesman tries to keep their relationship on track. Their divorce of the parents pings the question: Is the notion of the previously known 'family' is still relevant the present?<br/>
The director Miranda was previously a video artist herself, her point of view on contemporary art and its institutional structure is relevant: a hard edge overall critic.
<br/>
<br/>What makes it unique is the tone, and. Personally I would say it's a never seen before genre.<br/>
Super sensitive - but is not glitchy.
