Speechless

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2000)

When I saw this movie first, I was really speechless. I could only laugh. I love everything surrealistic but this movie breaks everything I saw before. First of all, there are amazing acting performances, especially by Catherine Keener and Cameron Diaz, but also by John Cusack and - people seem to forget about him - John Malkovich. Then the story is so crazy and insane but still offers thousands of possibilities to interpret it and to guess what sense it could make. This film should have won an Oscar, at least for its uniqueness. And Charles Kaufman and Spike Jonze should soon make another film together!
