The Story
Product Description
Spike Jonze directs this award-winning drama following Theodore Twombly
(Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely writer who falls in love with a sentient
operating system. Newly separated from his wife Catherine (Rooney
Mara), Theodore works for a company that composes love letters for
those who lack the creativity to pen their own. Growing more and more
isolated from the outside world, his curiosity is piqued by a campaign
advertising the latest artificially intelligent operating system. When
he is first introduced to his new technological assistant Samantha
(voice of Scarlett Johansson) he is surprised by her ever-growing
emotionality and fresh way of looking at the world. As time passes,
Theodore finds himself connecting with Samantha in ways he could never
have imagined... The film was nominated for five Academy Awards and won
for Best Original Screenplay (Jonze), for which it also received the
Golden Globe.
