Alphaville (1965, dir. Jean-Luc Godard)

“‘Her’ and ‘Lost In Translation’ are very much on the same wavelength and explore a lot of the same ideas due to the fact that Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola were married from 1999 to 2003 and had been together for many years before that. Sofia Coppola had already made her big personal statement in regards to love and marriage right when the couple was on the verge of divorce; Her would be Spike Jonze’s answer to those feelings. What makes it even more poignant is that ‘Her’ never feels resentful or petty. It feels more like a legitimate apology. It’s an acknowledgement that, in the end, some people aren’t meant to be with each other in the long run. Some people do grow apart. ‘Lost in Translation’ is about a couple on the verge of growing apart, ‘Her’ is about finally letting go of the person you’ve grown apart with and moving on.”

Emil Cioran, Cuadernos 1957-1972.
