Being John Malkovich: Puppeteers
built 273 days ago
Being John Malkovich is the kind of film you might want to see several times to appreciate fully: every characterization, every line of dialogue, every frame of film stock has something unique to offer. Even a twenty-word synopsis of the plot screams originality in such bold brushstrokes that you wonder how this picture even got made: "An unemployed puppeteer takes a job as a file clerk and discovers a portal into the head of John Malkovich." That's "John Malkovich, The Actor" by the way.

The puppeteer and a secretary at the office there, who he has a crush on, decide that they can sell tickets to people who want to be John Malkovich for a couple of hours. John struggles against the various people inhabiting his body. A church of John Malkovichians is formed. The puppeteer's wife joins. The secretary he lusts after, lusts after John Malkovich, and will only get romantic with the puppeteer, who she mostly blows off because he is, well, a puppeteer, when he is inhabiting John Malkovich.

Even if you know the premise of Being John Malkovich before you see it, the story will still seem very odd. The idea is simple – a struggling puppeteer takes an office job and finds a portal to John Malkovich’s brain behind a filing cabinet – but it’s still quirky enough to dance circle after circle around its unoriginal competition. The film is a daringly creative, visually stunning and wonderfully acted fantasy.
