Hilarity, drama, and perhaps the most unique film of the 90s. <i>Being John Malkovich</i>, which stars John Cusack, Cameron Diaz and, of course, John Malkovich as himself, is Charlie Kaufman's screenwriting debut. The movie premiered to universal acclaim and is guaranteed to become a classic of modern cinema.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A wonderfully demented fantasia . . . inspired madness . . . a metaphysical journey about identity, gender, creativity and the urge to transform oneself, <i>Being John Malkovich</i> looks as if it were hatched by Terry Gilliam or Lewis Carroll on drugs." --Edward Guthmann, <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></p><p>"A clever and outrageous piece of whimsical fantasy that is unique, unpredictable, and more than a little strange. Kaufman . . . has a truly singular imagination." --Kenneth Turan, <i>The Los Angeles Times </i></p><p>"More than just the latest cool, smart, funny movie. It jumps off the screen with . . . freshness, originality and [a] light-handed stranglehold on the Zeitgeist." --Jay Carr, <i>The Boston Globe</i></p><p>"Every once in a long, long while a movie comes along that is like no other. A movie that creates a new world for us and uses it to produce wonderful things." --Roger Ebert, Chicago-Sun Times</p><p>"The most excitingly original movie of the year." --<i>Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Charlie Kaufman</b> is also the scriptwriter for <i>Adaptation</i>.</p>
