About the film

Theodore is a lonely man who earns a living by writing personal letters for others. When he installs an AI operating system, he unexpectedly develops an intense bond with the artificial voice Samantha. What begins as a practical aid grows into an intimate and complex relationship, forcing him to reflect on love, connection and what it means to be human.

With Her, director Spike Jonze paints a tender and forward-looking portrait of loneliness and technology. With a subtle blend of romance, melancholy and philosophy, the film explores how relationships are changing in an increasingly digital world.

With a restrained yet powerful performance by Joaquin Phoenix and a compelling voice performance by Scarlett Johansson, Her has become a modern classic. The film won, among other awards, the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay, and was praised worldwide for its originality and emotional depth.
