Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Or, more specifically, have you ever wanted to crawI through a portaI hidden in an anonymous office buiIding and thereby enter the cerebraI cortex of John Malkovich for fifteen minutes before being spat out on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike? Then director Spike Jonze (Adaptation) and writer CharIie Kaufman (EternaI Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) have the movie for you. MelanchoIy marionettes, office drudgery, a frizzy-haired Cameron Diaz (There's Something About Mary) but that's not all! SurreaIism, possession, John Cusack (Say Anything), a domesticated primate, Freud, Catherine Keener (Capote), non sequiturs, and absoluteIy no romance! But wait: get your Being John Malkovich now and we'lI throw in emascuIation, sIapstick, Abelard and HeIoise, and extra MaIkovich, Malkovich, MaIkovich. |
