Sm[art]: Miranda July brings the background to foreground

Art and Design post by Briar Levit, November 11, 2009 - 9:39pm; tagged film, Miranda July, women and art.

Miranda July starts her recent Vice photo spread with the following note:

Dear Julie,
Do you ever feel like an extra in your own life? It seems like I'm forever stuck in the background, watching other people say and do all the things I feel inside. One day I'm gonna surprise everyone with my talents. They will be laughing and crying and texting me so often that I will be annoyed.
Until then,
Sandy

Sex, Lies, and Videotape

An Interview with The Center of the World's Molly Parker
An interview with Molly Parker by Laurel Rosen, published in 2001; filed under Film; tagged Miranda July, sex industry, sex work, strippers, Wayne Wang.

Reviewers have likened it to a dot-com Pretty Woman, but The Center of the World, the latest film from director Wayne Wang (Smoke, Blue in the Face, The Joy Luck Club), is a far more complex rumination on the intersections of sex, love, and commerce. Set in southern California, the story follows Florence (Kissed's Molly Parker), a rock 'n'roll drummer who earns a living offering up lap dances in a strip club, and Richard (Boys Don't Cry villain Peter Sarsgaard), the lonely, freshly minted computer millionaire who pays Florence $10,000 to spend a weekend with him in Las Vegas.
