Synopsis
The latest from Gary Burns and Jim Brown is an update of the French film Life Begins Tomorrow, directed by Nicole Védrès and featuring Jean-Pierre Aumont, Le Corbusier, André Gide, André S. Labarthe, Pablo Picasso and Jean-Paul Sartre. Like in that 1949 film, The Future Is Now! introduces us to a “man of the present” who either doesn’t trust or looks down on several aspects of today: arts, sciences, the organization of society. Both films place two actors in an interaction with the people that is interviewed: artists and real scientists. In Védrès film, a “man of the future” arranges a series of interviews for the “man of the present” with Le Corbusier, Picasso, Sartre, and others, in Paris. In Burns and Brown’s film there’s a “woman of the future” who sends the lead character (a man so acid he’s actually astringent) on a trip through several countries so he can understand better the world he lives in. A sort of nice and civilized Socratic film, The Future Is Now! tries to comprehend some inescapable areas of current Western society with decision and a lucid optimism.
