The Future Trailer : Taking It A Little Too Far?



Let me get this straight: A hipster couple decides to adopt a cat, and in doing so, fall into some sort of life crisis? The trailer in itself is a 2:31 journey of absolute head scratching madness. After watching it a few times over, my face was still stuck in a permanent state of part "Not sure if serious..." squinting and cringe. Indie and alternative films have so much liberty to do so many things, yet in this case, it appears to have gone so horribly wrong. This is some truly 'Omg, look how cute and weird and quirky I am,' material that feels like its trying to channel Wes Anderson, but in all the wrong ways. For some reason this really reminded me (in spirit) of the cringe inducing interpretative performance called Interior Semiotics
