Infinite Summer
(IndiePix DVD)
Beware of who you meet on dating apps! Considerably smarter than the crew of Heathers she hangs with, Mia casually clicks on a virtual reality site called Extreme Dating and encounters a man calling himself Dr. Mindfulness. The not-so-good doctor is developing a mindfulness app—“It’s like having your own personal yoga teacher” he insists. The results are increasingly strange and addictive. Spanish born and Estonia based, writer-director Miguel Llanso cast Anglophone actors in the roles; though set in Tallinn, Estonia, Infinite Summer is international and unrooted in place. His healthy skepticism of techno-utopianism, displayed in previous films such Crumbs and Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, is back again in this playful warning against the shrinking of human connection.
