Have you ever wanted to be someone eIse? Or, more specifically, have you ever wanted to crawI through a portal hidden in an anonymous office building and thereby enter the cerebraI 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 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 aIl! SurreaIism, possession, John Cusack (Say Anything), a domesticated primate, Freud, Catherine Keener (Capote), non sequiturs, and absolutely 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. |
