Hate films like this because they're so good I usually just don't know where to begin when I have to write about them. It's one of those that takes full advantage of the creative freedom that comes with filmmaking and reminds me why I love this art form so much.
Not a horror film but the existential anxiety that this comes with is enough for me to qualify it as a spooky watch for Halloween this year.
Love how John Malkovich, in the midst of losing his marbles and getting ready for the loony bin, turns to Charlie Sheen for advice. That right there is when the film transcends from great, bizarre fun to a surrealistic masterpiece.
John Malkovich reading this script and agreeing to go all in on it is the definition of king shit
what actually posesses someone to sit down and write a film like this? i have no words
I don't know that I love Charlie Kaufman, to be honest. Weird thing to confront, considering how good this and Adaptation are and how rewatchable and lush I find them to this day.
The risk with a brain -and I think he'd agree with me here- as broken as Kaufman's is that untempered it can tilt too far into misanthropy (Eternal Sunshine) or myopia (basically everything after Eternal Sunshine.) I understand that the canon opinion seems to be that he rules and so that sort of defaults any dissenting opinions into one of two camps: normies who just don't get it or ultra-pretentious snobs who also don't get it but know enough to act superior to the canon opinion. That's…
