Have you ever wanted to be someone eIse? Or, more specificaIIy, 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 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 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 emasculation, slapstick, Abelard and Heloise, and extra Malkovich, MaIkovich, Malkovich. |
