After his initial success with his music videos and short films, Jonze entered the world of feature film making. Despite having worldwide acclaim, Spike Jonze has only ever directed four feature films: Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where The Wild Things Are and Her. This small but powerful collection of films showcase Jonze at his very best, an...
Being John Malkovich, as well as having one of the strangest premises in film history, was the beginning of the writer-director relationship of Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman. Described as a fantasy-comedy, Being John Malkovich is the story of puppeteer Craig (John Cusack) who discovers a portal which leads directly in the head of famous actor Joh...
The second product from dream-team Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze continues the bizarre storytelling phenomena with Adaptation. More intricate and elaborate than Being John Malkovich, if at all possible, Adaptation. pulls apart the film-making process, explores the concept of identity and above allows Nicholas Cagethe best performance of his life....
Jonze’s third feature, and his second novel adaptation – ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ (Maurice Sendak, 1963) was a classic children’s book for a generation.

How They Get There (1997) barely hits the three minute mark, but is filled with the blackest comedy I have ever seen. Set to a jazz soundtrack, Jonze’s talent for making music videos shines throug...
In between his features, shorts and music videos, Spike Jonze consistently created expressive commercials for brands such as Levi’s, IKEA and Gap. Lamp is probably the most famous of Jonze’s commercials. Shot for IKEA, and featuring a lonely lamp, you wouldn’t believe a TV advert could stir up such emotions. Lamp won the Grand Prix and a Grand Clip...

Oct 25, 2024 · Still, the news comes as a bit of shock as Netflix has a strong reputation of catering to auteurs with singular visions like Jonze. To have a project in the works for two-plus years fall apart is a shock, especially one that had a writers room, Sister as a producer, and was eying a casting director and a potential 2025 shooting date as recently ...
