Her (2013)
Country: US
Technical: col 126m
Director: Spike Jonze
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Scarlett Johansson
Synopsis:
In an L.A. of the future, a man who writes other people's letters for a living climbs back from the breakup of his marriage thanks to a new computer operating system with a female voice. However, his growing emotional attachment cannot keep pace with 'her' insatiable need for data.
Review:
Again Jonze shows himself to be one of the few directors capable of building a movie from a simple conceit, and Phoenix is perfect as the awkward, slightly pervy hero, though in a way most males will relate to! The futuristic cityscapes are fabulous but unostentatious, and Johansson does a class job as a disembodied voice (Samantha), begging the question whether Jonze is a fan of I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue. Most importantly, the film delves into the question of what exactly a relationship is, and comes up with some pretty sobering answers.
