1. I love Spike Jonze. Not just for his skateboarding prowess and beautiful filmmaking but also because of THIS. He dated Michelle Williams and they looked AWESOME together (I can’t even bring myself to discuss his other famous break-up with Miss. Coppola.)
2. He loves Arcade Fire. Their little film collaboration, Scenes From The Suburbs is a thing of beauty and politically very insightful; almost a little too real. I remember this film with slight sense of nausea as its viewing coincided with a bout of vomiting* chez-moi *unnecessary detail
3. Spike Jonze now offers HER. It’s very rare that I’m totally won over by a trailer. I spend many a Sunday evening trawling through the latest trailer offerings from Apple but often, with a smug level of disdain. I view them like an episode of Casulty, instantly predicting who will die first. But HER was like a breath of fresh air, with Scarlett Johansson’s melodic, sickly sweet voice thrown in. And the score? Of course, it’s Arcade Fire.
