At a time when blockbusters are deserting cinemas, this is the perfect opportunity to discover some pearls of independent cinema. Indeed, some quality works are on the program. Miranda July's third directorial debut, Kajilionnaire, starring Evan Rachel Wood, is released on September 30, 2020. You probably don't know her, and yet, this woman is one of the most gifted artists of her generation. Miranda July juggles her different skills with such ease that it is difficult not to be interested in this artist. She is a writer, musician, screenwriter, actress and director. A multitude of hats for a quality artist.On her third feature film as a director, she brings together a most surprising cast.
Kajilionnaire: Miranda July's third film
The star of the film is undoubtedly Evan Rachel Wood, the headliner of the science fiction series Westworld. She plays the daughter of a couple of established actors played by Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger. A brilliant duo that we take pleasure in seeing evolve in the trailer. Synopsis: These atypical parents have been educating their daughter for 26 years to steal from people. Their routine is disrupted during a burglary following a meeting with a young woman played by Gina Rodriguez (the heroine of Jane the virgin). The arrival of this young woman in "the gang" will change everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2EDkgoMps&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=ApolloFilms The first images of the trailer of Kajilionnaire put us in the mood directly. Miranda's characters are whimsical, seem to follow their own rules. Although they live in our society, they evolve in their own universe. The film is a perfect ambassador for indie productions. Rachel perfectly portrays this character and shows her ease in going from an HBO hit to more modest productions. Kajilionnaire is probably one of the nice surprises of the 2020 school year. A separate work on which we will come back soon.
