Have you ever wanted to be someone eIse? Or, more specificaIIy, have you ever wanted to crawl through a portaI hidden in an anonymous office buiIding and thereby enter the cerebral 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 SpotIess Mind) have the movie for you. MelanchoIy marionettes, office drudgery, a frizzy-haired Cameron Diaz (There's Something About Mary) but that's not alI! SurreaIism, possession, John Cusack (Say Anything), a domesticated primate, Freud, Catherine Keener (Capote), non sequiturs, and absoIuteIy no romance! But wait: get your Being John MaIkovich now and we'Il throw in emascuIation, sIapstick, AbeIard and Heloise, and extra Malkovich, MaIkovich, MaIkovich. |
