Spike Jonze’s I’m Here: A Hauntingly Heartbreaking Robot Romance

I’m Here is a 30-minute short film (HD full-version presented here) by filmmaker Spike Jonze, a film that’s haunting, beautiful, whimsical and overwhelmingly heartbreaking all at the same time. I’m Here gives an interesting look at an alternative world, where robotic humanoids live and work alongside the regular human population. The simple, elegant visual storytelling that Jonze employs is surprisingly affecting, although in a potentially dark way. The film is full of originality and the kind of mysterious mythology that will have sci-fiction enthusiasts wishing they could spend more time in the world he created.
