SOMEBODY

Miu Miu Women's Tales #8

Directed by Miranda July
United States, 2014
Short, Comedy

Synopsis

Have you ever found it impossible to say something, face to face, to someone you know, someone you love? The words just won’t come out? Somebody takes our endless hunger for communication, technology, avatars and outsourcing, and blends it into what seems to be a surreal near future, but it’s not.

Our take

Director and artist Miranda July tackles the side effects of technology on modern-day relationships in this offbeat (is there a July movie that is not?), lovingly crafted short film. At once eccentrically sad and wonderfully funny, Somebody offers a playful look at a surreal near-future.
