The Science of Sleep
Why this pick
Its playful collapse of everyday reality and private fantasy shares The Future’s handmade surrealism, awkward romantic yearning, and sympathy for people struggling to act on their feelings.
03
Me and You and Everyone We Know
Why this pick
This earlier Miranda July film has the same deadpan, delicately odd emotional language: lonely people make tentative connections through small gestures, absurdity, and sincere longing.
04
The Bothersome Man
Why this pick
A coolly comic, surreal portrait of adult dissatisfaction, using a subtly unreal world to probe numbness, routine, and the unsettling possibility of wanting a different life.
05
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Why this pick
Its inventive, intimate treatment of a fraying relationship turns emotional avoidance into physical surrealism, balancing melancholy, humor, and a compassionate belief in imperfect connection.
