“Ribald Kafkaesque romp Being John Malkovich contemplates the nature of sexual identity and celebrity with a surrealist shtick that owes plenty to Buñuel and Svankmajer.”
A struggling puppeteer (John Cusack) takes up an office job to support his wife (Cameron Diaz) and (her) extended family of pets (mostly monkeys). While working late one night, he stumbles across a portal hidden behind a filing cabinet that leads directly to the head of the Hollywood actor John Malkovich (John Malkovich)... With a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman and a supporting cast that includes the great Catherine Keener, Being John Malkovich is a disturbing hoot from start to finish.
