It’s been six years since Miranda July’s first film Me and You and Everyone We Know took the indie film world by storm and won awards at both Sundance and Cannes, not to mention the Independent Spirit Awards. The movie definitely marked the arrival of a fresh new voice, and in particular, a fresh new female voice. Of course, it definitely had its share of detractors as well, with the cuteness and quirkiness factors cranked up to 11. Now Miranda July is back with her new film The Future, which apparently cranks the quirkiness all the way up to 12.

The movie stars July and Hamish Linklater (The New Adventures of Old Christine) as a 30-something couple who decide to adopt a stray cat. Somehow this acts as a turning point in their relationship, “altering the course of time and space and testing their faith in each other and themselves.” It’s hard to get a handle on the movie just from watching this trailer, but it definitely seems to be a pretty weird and trippy experience. For example, there are shots and a voice over from the point of view of the cat. At the very least, you know now to expect something predictable and safe from Miranda July. The Future hits select theatres on July 29th; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.
