Parental Rating: R (Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.)

STORYLINE:

"Being John Malkovich" is a surreal and original comedy-drama that explores the bizarre experiences of a puppeteer who discovers a portal leading directly into the mind of actor John Malkovich. This mind-bending journey raises questions about identity, consciousness, and celebrity, culminating in an experience that's as thought-provoking as it is humorous.


STAFF REVIEW:

"Being John Malkovich" stands out as a brilliantly inventive and quirky film by director Spike Jonze. The film's unique concept, combined with Charlie Kaufman's ingenious screenplay, offers a wildly original and absurdly funny exploration of human desire and the nature of self. With outstanding performances, particularly by John Cusack and Cameron Diaz, it's a must-see for fans of offbeat cinema.
