Her

Kick those post-Valentine’s blues away at Frida Cinema with Her, Spike Jonze’s unique sci-fi romance starring River Phoenix.  In the not so distant future of LA, Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), lives a lonely life of working as a letter writer, video gaming, and ruminating on his heartbreak over the end of a long term relationship.

One day, Theodore decides to purchase a newly developed operating system, called OS1, advertised as a fully conscious AI designed to meet the user’s every need. The OS, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, names herself Samantha, and her bright voice and frank and witty demeanor reveals a playful personality indistinguishable from human. To Theodore’s surprise, as her needs and desires grow in tandem with his own, a romantic relationship develops between the man and his machine when their friendship blossoms into an eventual love for each other.
