From the singular perspective of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Spike Jones comes Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line, Gladiator), Amy Adams (Doubt, American Hustle), Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Side Effects), Olivia Wilde (Drinking Buddies) and Scarlett Johansson (Vicky Christina Barcelona, He's Just Not That Into You).
Winner of the Golden Globe® Award for Best Screenplay – Motion Picture, Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay, ADG Excellence in Production Design Awards – Contemporary Film, and BFCA Critics' Choice Award for Best Original Screenplay, Her is an original love story that explores the evolving nature – and the risks – of intimacy in the modern world.
Set in Los Angeles in the slight future, Her follows Theodore Twombly (Phoenix), a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people. Heartbroken after the end of a long-term relationship, Theodore becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system which promises to be an intuitive entity in its own right, individual to each user.
Upon initiating his device, Theodore is delighted to meet 'Samantha" (voiced by Johansson), a bright female voice who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny. As her needs and desires grow in tandem with his own, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other.
Her is available to own on Blu-ray™, DVD and Ultraviolet™ from 22 May, 2014.
