Amanda Kramer’s 'By Design' uses absurdity and surrealism to explore a woman's existential crisis through its protagonist, Camille, played by Juliette Lewis. Frustrated by her banal friendships and shallow conversations, Camille longs to transcend her humanity. A turning point occurs in a furniture showroom when she encounters a chair, named the 'Stunner,' sparking a desire not just to own it, but to become it. The film cleverly critiques societal superficiality while showcasing Camille’s whimsical, yet poignant journey through the feminine experience.
"Camille is depicted as a woman yearning to transcend her mundane existence, finding solace in metaphors that explore her desire to escape humanity."
"Her interactions with friends reflect a societal tendency toward superficiality, with conversations that lack substance and fail to stimulate deeper thoughts."
