Miranda July's new movie "The Future," is getting great reviews and a lot of buzz, and features a particulary funny scene involving door-to-door canvassing. Chicago Tribune critic Michael Phillips calls it a "vexing blend of foggy whimsy and observant soul-searching."
The premise involves a couple reluctant to surrender to age, who decide to adopt a street cat named "Paw-Paw" as a statement of adulthood. In the 30 days leading up to little Paw-Paw coming home with them, the couple (played by July and Hamish Linklater) decide this is their time to seize youth.
"Forty is basically 50 and after 50 the rest is just loose change," says Jason.
His response: become a canvasser, going door-to-door asking people if they have a moment to reduce global warming.
It's a pretty amusing scene. Whether you've knocked on doors or not, check this one out.
