In episode forty-seven of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about Josephine Decker’s unconventional opus on cats and creative ownership, MADELINE’S MADELINE. Then they dig into other reflexive works on the artistic process and discuss Decker’s previous film THOU WAST MILD AND LOVELY, Jean-Luc Godard’s CONTEMPT, Charlie Kaufman’s SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK, and Miranda July’s THE FUTURE. Ben compares the sly surrealist streak that runs through Decker’s work to Cassavetes’ approach of domestic disruption, Daniel trips over his own metaphor (which is what we’re all experiencing) while drawing a line around the auteur theory, and Brandon wonders whether Decker is reckoning with her own ethical onus as a director. They all agree that Miranda July is the Best Supporting Actress of the year so far!
