This film blew me away.

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 1999)

This film blew me away. "Being John Malkovich" kept me off balance in the way that a Terry Gilliam film would, and I laughed so much I hurt.
There is a strong visual element of absurdity that is as arresting and hilarious as the bizarre characters and situations. What an imagination! I don't know if the writer or director deserves most of the credit. Certainly the direction is perfect, even though I understand Spike Jonze is a relative newcomer.
Don't miss this film -- see it with an intelligent person who loves to laugh.
