Me and You and why is Miranda July This Way?

In her ongoing blog about the travels of her wonderful new movie, ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW, Miranda July remains otherworldly and dear. This is a small snip of her hop-skip back to Cannes when she found she shared the Camera d'or award: "[We] heard our names and we walked up to the podium. The prize was given by Abbas Kiarostami, the head of the jury, and, oddly enough, Milla [Jovovich]. When I was 12 I deeply wanted a subscription to Seventeen magazine, but I was too embarrassed to ask for this because I knew my father would frown upon it. I was torn between wanting it and wanting to prove that I was not a silly, materialistic girl. Eventually I got the subscription and Milla was on the cover of the first issue. So you can imagine my surprise, to see it was she, ushering me in to this new world. Maybe she will always be the gatekeeper for each new world I enter.
