Review – Being John Malkovich

If schizophrenics wrote screwball comedy, the result would no doubt be something along these lines. Clearly one of those low budget films that everyone in Hollywood wants to be in, this is hands-down one of the most bizarre movies ever to make wide release. The plot involves a collection of hapless people who find a secret door leading to the inside of John Malkovich’s mind. Though things get a little silly toward the end, for the most part the film succeeds on the strength of its own strangeness. You’ll probably need to be in the mood for quirkiness before you watch this one, but if such a mood does seize you then you should leave with your craving well sated. Worth seeing
