![]() ![]() Principal photography took place in Los Angeles and Shanghai in mid-2012. He wrote the first draft of the script in five months. After making I'm Here (2010), a short film sharing similar themes, Jonze returned to the idea. Jonze conceived the idea in the early 2000s after reading an article about a website that allowed for instant messaging with an artificial intelligence program. The film also stars Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Chris Pratt. The film follows Theodore Twombly ( Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha ( Scarlett Johansson), an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. It marks Jonze's solo screenwriting debut. It’s just a period that hasn’t happened yet.Her (stylized in lowercase) is a 2013 American science-fiction romantic drama film written, directed, and co-produced by Spike Jonze. But in many ways this is a period piece too. MN: You were coming off shooting “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.” I can’t imagine a movie more different in setting or tone. And we’d have to take all of those locations and make them work in the same scene. and that felt right, and then a square in Shanghai that made you feel how big that city has become and that felt right, and then an interior in L.A. HVH: That’s where you need strong direction, merging two cities like that. look like the same place (and yet a totally different place than either city). MN: Of course when you did go wide you had a different challenge: how to make Shanghai and L.A. We tried to do it different ways like shooting behind his neck or these other tricks and every time we did it felt like we stepped out of the universe. But you needed to do it a lot of the time. You had to know the exact second when it was too much. It’s hard to keep making those close-ups interesting enough that you keep watching. MN: That can’t be easy, for him but also you, spending so much of the movie right up there practically in his mustache. We lost the intimacy when we drifted away from him. For the movie to work you have to access Theodore’s feelings, and when we tried to give a little distance it didn’t work. Samantha is just a voice, and Joaquin is alone, so we had to rely on Joaquin and his expressions. HVH: As much as I’d like to say that’s an artistic choice, in some ways it was really us forced into a corner. Why was that choice made? Was it simply a matter of the intimacy or.? MN: Much of the film has Joaquin Phoenix’s face in extreme close-up. It allows you to find the poetry as a cinematographer. He’s someone who can be concrete but also doesn’t want to be too concrete because he wants to find things between the lines. HVH: Spike is one of those great directors who has very specific ideas. MN: How specific was Spike in saying he wanted it to look a certain way? They help you make something realistic, or something unrealistic, or something realistic with a twist, which is what I think this is. MN: The production also had the infamous “no blue” rule. So it’s very much chasing the sun and capture moments in which the light is most gentle toward the city. A lot of times we’d be building up the frame and then we’d say, “Let’s eliminate certain things so it looks more like a hypothetical universe.” We were also trying to create a very comfortable L.A. I wanted to avoid certain light sources, certain things that will make you connect it with something you know well. Barrett, it seems like the governing principle wasn’t so much about the things all of you did want than what you didn’t want - things that make it seem too stereotypically “futuristic.” ![]() ![]() Nick Park and Steve Box’s Claymation method is proudly old-school analogue - and so is the slightly batty, this-connects-to-this spirit of their slapstick ingenuity. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) Linklater’s film is a quixotically beautiful attempt to let us see what that zone might look like. The message of “Waking Life” - akin to that of Shakespeare’s in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” - is that what we call “existence” is really a zone between what life is and what we imagine it to be. In its place was a running meditation on the nature of life and dreams, reality and unreality, and how all those things melt into each other, that emerges, with a kind of wavery organic shimmer, out of the film’s stylized yet homespun surface. A decade later, he made his first animated feature, and it was more than a little like a sequel to “Slacker,” only without the comedy. Richard Linklater’s iconic first feature, “Slacker” (1991), was a rambling comedy of philosophical whimsy.

The heroes are a commando force with headquarters hidden inside Mount Rushmore, and with their marble eyes and fragile, loping bodies, they’re a glorified series of Ken and Barbie dolls, facing down the enemies of world peace with a jockish xenophobic bluster that wouldn’t look out of place in…well, a Donald Trump administration. It satirizes the bomb-first-and-ask-questions-later stance of the Bush administration, but it really skewers something that has taken over even more since then: the fusion of politics and pop culture. Parker and Stone’s naughty marionette burlesque grows even more outrageously prescient. But that blasphemous potty-mouthed musical, adult as it was, looks less scandalous with time. Most fans of Trey Parker and Matt Stone would probably have put “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” on this list. Image Credit: Courtesy of Paramount Pictures (If you want to see an animated scene that rivals the death of Bambi’s mother for sheer heartache, just watch the death of the mother here.) The film is drawn in a deceptively unadorned, low-key style that avoids sensation, and that only makes what it shows us all the more devastating. Set in the city of Kobe, Japan, during the final months of World War II, it follows a boy and his younger sister in their desperate attempts to survive - an odyssey of violence and ruin that begins to grow more bleak than you could imagine. Isao Takahata’s landmark of war-zone realism is a far more haunting parable, and that’s because of the stark innocence at its center. There’s a vast school of post-apocalyptic anime (“Akira,” “Cowboy Bebop”), but too many of those films bleed into each other with a kind of hip glum post-human graphic-novel interchangeability. ![]() ![]() Image Credit: Courtesy of Toho Co., Studiocanal You might have to go back to “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” to find a movie love affair that doesn’t work out yet still feels this romantic. As their talents take them to New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, their on-again, off-again relationship becomes an echo of the beautiful dissonant ache of jazz itself. It’s rooted in a bittersweet nostalgia for the Havana of the ’40s and ’50s, where Chico (Eman Xor Oña), a gifted pianist, swoons for Rita (Limara Meneses), an Afro-Cuban chanteuse who is destined to become a star. ![]() But this smoky Cuban love story is so fully felt that you almost can’t believe the two musical figures at its center are fictional, let alone animated. The roiling passions and messy, broken lives of jazz musicians is a subject that stymies even most live-action attempts to deal with it.

The film starring Cruise and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, has grossed $139.2 million domestically and $309.3 million oveseas. While theaters being flush with moviegoers has been a huge boon to the film industry, it’s been tougher sledding for Tom Cruise, the so-called savior of the movies last summer with “Top Gun: Maverick.” “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I,” which debuted the week before the arrival of “Barbenheimer,” grossed $10.7 million in its third weekend. The film, directed by Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou and starring Sophie Wilde, was a midnight premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and received terrific reviews from critics (95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). “Talk to Me,” the A24 supernatural horror film, fared better. “Haunted Mansion,” directed by Justin Simien (“Dear White People,” “Bad Hair”) and starring an ensemble of LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito and Rosario Dawson, struggled to overcome mediocre reviews. The film, which cost about $150 million, debuted with $24 million domestically and $9 million in overseas sales. The week’s top new release, Walt Disney Co.’s “Haunted Mansion,” an adaptation of the Disney theme park attraction, was easily overshadowed by the “Barbenheimer” blitz. Every day it’s played, “Barbie” has made at least $20 million. and Canadian theaters, a rate that will soon make it the biggest box-office hit of the summer. “Barbie” has rapidly accumulated $351.4 million in U.S. ![]() The film outpaced Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” to have the best first 11 days in theaters of any Warner Bros. “There’s really no comparison for this.”įollowing its year-best $162 million opening, the pink-infused pop sensation of “Barbie” saw remarkably sustained business through the week and into the weekend. “Having two movies from rival studios linked in this way and both boosting each other’s fortunes - both box-office wise and it terms of their profile - I don’t know if there’s a comp for this in the annals of box-office history,” said Dergarabedian. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore, call it “a touchstone moment for movies, moviegoers and movie theaters.” The two movies combined have already surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. “Barbenheimer” has proven to be not a one-weekend phenomenon but an ongoing box-office bonanza. Sales for the two movies dipped 43% and 44%, respectably - well shy of the usual week-two drops. “Oppenheimer” stayed in second with a robust $46.2 million. “Barbie” took in a massive $93 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Seven days after Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” conspired to set box office records, the two films held unusually strongly in theaters. NEW YORK (AP) - A week later, the “Barbenheimer” boom has not abated. ![]() ![]()
