Is it too simplistic to interpret Her as metaphor for writer-director Spike Jonzes marriage to and divorce from Sofia Coppola? I dont think so because it feels exactly that personal. He develops and encourages her only to watch her grow apart, hit her own superior stride and ultimately leave him behind. Short of having Theodor whispering Rosebud in that last shot on top of the building I dont see how Jonze could make it any clearer that this ones autobiographical. Needless to say the gossip in me really wants to know the identity of the surrogate who came between them. Jonze is also predicting a future of great loneliness as we become increasingly isolated in our separate bubbles of virtuality. Not a pleasant prospect but I fear he is right about it. And Scarlett Johansson acts the hell out of her disembodied part. She officially ranks amongst the most seductively sultry actresses of all time now with her raw throaty purring. Right up there with Kathleen Turner and Joan Greenwood.
