HER: "How do you share your life with somebody?" (Behind-the-scenes montage)




In a time where everyone is talking about the first reactions to Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of the Joker (2019), thought it was a good idea to share this clip with behind-the-scenes Broll of one of his most acclaimed movies: Her (2013), directed by Spike Jonze.

In this almost 4minute montage that I'm sharing with you, we hear Theodore (Phoenix) and Samantha (Scarlett Johansson) talk about their feelings and their place in a relationship. It's a taste of how wonderful the script is, beautifully crafted in order to deliver a poignant, heartfelt and relatable conversation that I guess most of us have had or thought about at some point in our lives.

And if these beautiful shots, the "backstage access" shots and the delivery by the actors wasn't enough... you still have Arcade Fire's Photograph setting the mood.

One of the soundtracks biggest gems, it is a track that reminisces of Yann Tiersen's work (think of Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain or Goodbye Lenin).

The instrumental carries with it the fantastic, the adventurous, the sheer wonder... just like Tiersen's work and it really blends in with the heart and soul of the movie, as well as this small insight into Jonze's masterpiece.
