The world premiere of Spike Jonze’s Her starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde and Scarlett Johansson will close the 51st New York Film Festival on Oct 13.

NYFF director of programming and selection committee chair Kent Jones said, “To discuss even a little bit of the plot – let’s just say that it’s about lonely people and artificial intelligence – is to deprive first-time viewers of the opportunity of discovering it themselves.”

Set in Los Angeles in the near future, Her stars Phoenix as a lost soul who forms a relationship with an advanced operating system.
