Summary
With this compassionate, startling comedy that could have come from no other artistic sensibility, Miranda July reveals a world both familiar and strange--an original vision of creativity, sexuality, childhood, and loneliness through a series of braided vignettes around a pair of potential lovers: Richard, a newly single shoe salesman and father of two, and Christine, a lonely video artist and "Eldercab" driver. While they take hesitant steps toward romance, Richard's sons follow their own curiosity toward their first sexual experiences, online and in real life, venturing into uncharted territories in their attempts to connect with others. Me and You and Everyone We Know is a poetic look at the tortuous routes we take to intimacy in an isolating world, and the moments of redemption that unite us.
