Transcript of Me and you and everyone we know
ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW
Directed by Miranda July, 2005.
INTRODUCTION
•The main topic confronts sexuality with a romantic background which is common to all of the different stories that we can observe.
•It all takes place in a typical american middle-low class neighbourhood where all of them are involved in a same atmosphere but from very different perspectives according to their age, sex and social status.
•According to us, the main story is Richard and Miranda’s which is, in some kind, “above” the rest due to the fulness of their common feeling in the end.
