Spike Jonze
Spike Jonze, Catherine Keener & Dave Eggers—
Where the Wild Things Are
—9/30/09
Spike Jonze: 'That was sort of the goal of the movie, really, just to try and capture the feeling, to make a movie from the point of view of a nine-year-old. So the viewer is for that period of time experiencing the world from that vantage point.'
Adaptation (2002)
Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
A fine conversation piece for gifted kids—assuming parents willing to talk to their kids about their feelings...also a fascinating psychological study for adults looking back on the roiling emotions of childhood.
Her (2013)
Captures the zeitgeist of a tech-centric world that may be too 'smart' for its own good...It's about the life of the mind and emotional dysfunction as much as it is a quirky romance, and every scene opens up new questions.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Rests comfortably alongside Scorsese's masterpieces
Goodfellas
and
Casino
, but carries a sting that even they don't by examining the most acceptable, yet most rapacious, of criminal swindles.
