Being John Malkovich (1999) - 2nd time


Nominated for 3 Academy Awards:

Best Director: Spike Jonze
Best Supporting Actress: Catherine Keener
Best Original Screenplay

Being John Malkovich is a masterpiece of the absurd. If you embrace the suspension of disbelief, it’s gonna be a movie ride like none other. And I played along, and it proved to be an experience as impressive as I had remembered it to be. It’s directed really well, and the screenplay is just crazy.

The Malkovich-Malkovich-Malkovich scene is iconic, so creepy and creative. Let’s not forget what a good sport John Malkovich himself is, for embracing this madness, though I guess it’s also flattering to be the focal point of such a movie, with so much talent behind it. John Cusack is great and Cameron Diaz delivers her best acting performance, and if I had to choose I would’ve nominated her for the Oscar, and not Catherine Keener. Diaz would’ve really deserved it.

I give it: 9/10
