one of the most entertaining and original ever

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2000)

when i rented 'being john malkovich' i knew the just of the story and thought i knew what to expect. i was so wrong. the film is about craig schwartz (john cusack) a puppeteer who slowly realises that puppeteering is out and is pushed by his wife (cameron diaz) to get a job. Schwartz finds a job as filing papers in an office building where he meets the very beautiful maxine, who he becomes infatuated with. Whilst in his office schwartz discovers a door in a wall which leads into the head of none other than John Malkovich allowing him to see through his eyes. i think that originality is what makes a good film and 'being john malkovich is exactly that. This film is filled with humour, drama and total entertainment
