Film Miranda July’s “Delightful Vision”
Posted by on Wed, May 21 at 3:57 PM
From Screen Daily:
Film4 has announced it will reunite with director Miranda July for her new film Satisfaction, which will begin shooting in Los Angeles in the autumn. Film Four and July previously collaborated on Me And You And Everyone We Know, which took 4 prizes at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005.Satisfaction, a triangular love story about the elusive quest for satisfaction, is written and directed by July and produced by Gina Kwon. The film is executive produced by Film4’s Peter Carlton and Charles Gillibert of France’s MK2.
Satisfaction will star July with other cast to be announced.July said, “I’ve been working with Gina nearly continuously since Me And You. She helped me develop the performance that was the starting point for this new movie. Film4’s daring faith in my first movie made them an obvious first choice this time.”
Film4’s Carlton added, “It’s not often you come across a voice so strong, so particular, which makes you sit up and look at the world afresh and makes you laugh out loud. That’s what we recognised in Miranda when we stepped in to back her first film when others doubted if it would work. That was just the beginning of the story and we’re proud to continue the collaboration to bring Miranda’s delightful vision of the world to a wider audience.”

Matt, that has not been my experience.

Was she supposed to be retarded in Me and You? Cuz that's what I got. And it made me sad.

Neil DiamondAfter canceling his September performance in Portland, Neil Diamond is back and ready to blow us out of our seats! Fine, maybe he won’t “blow us,” but I bet he’ll come to the stage locked and loaded with hits such as “Cherry, Cherry,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “I’m a Believer.” And does anybody remember “Heartlight”? I do! WSH Rose Garden, 1 Center Court St., $55-120, 8:00 PM |

Portland Bicycle Lawyer Network
Don't settle for someone trying to make money off bicyclists.
Talk to a real Portland bicycle lawyer; not all Portland lawyers are real bicycle lawyers and they won't give you the extra passion that we feel makes a big difference when you do find a real Portland bicycle lawyer.
