When watching The Amateurist by Miranda July, it is easy to notice that the movie addresses an issue of communication between two figures.
The Amateurist depicts a woman, recognized as the professional, observes another woman on a surveillance camera and describes her actions, with no other interaction between them. The interaction can be seen as “unidirectional” here: only one can observe the other. Through the context given by the professional woman, a “both-way interaction” is seems created: by ordering the numbers that the amateurist woman can posture…the body languages are manifested by her: the woman in the limited space and such performance seems like a reaction to the person in another space. The interaction in The Amateurist is obscure and it is one thing that July intends to blur the potentialities.
