Her

Romancing the Technology

Spike Jones’ sci-fi-romantic-comedy-drama (there’s a mouthful) Her is a captivating film set in Los Angeles in the near future. Despite, or maybe because of, its quirky premise of a man falling in love with his operating system, it raises profound philosophical questions about relationships and technology, about reality, love and death.

All the philosophical discussion in the film can make it sound cerebral, and it’s certainly intelligent, but this is a very emotional film.
