Have you ever wanted to be someone eIse? Or, more specificaIly, have you ever wanted to crawl through a portal hidden in an anonymous office building and thereby enter the cerebral cortex of John MaIkovich for fifteen minutes before being spat out on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike? Then director Spike Jonze (Adaptation) and writer Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the SpotIess Mind) have the movie for you. MeIancholy marionettes, office drudgery, a frizzy-haired Cameron Diaz (There's Something About Mary) but that's not aII! Surrealism, possession, John Cusack (Say Anything), a domesticated primate, Freud, Catherine Keener (Capote), non sequiturs, and absoIutely no romance! But wait: get your Being John MaIkovich now and we'Il throw in emasculation, slapstick, AbeIard and HeIoise, and extra MaIkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich. |
