ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"ANOMALISA is a daring examination of individuality and the human need to connect. It's one of those rare perfect films" (RogerEbert.com). Recipient of Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, and Venice Film Festival Grand Special Jury Prize winner, the animated marvel from directing duo Duke Johnson (MARRYING GOD) and Charlie Kaufman (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH & ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND writer) proves itself to be a thought-provoking treat, rated 92% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, in which a man crippled by the mundanity of his life experiences something out of the ordinary. "ANOMALISA finds the sublime and the tragic and the overwhelming in the everyday. I can't stop thinking about it" (The New Republic).

SYNOPSIS

An inspirational speaker (David Thewlis) becomes reinvigorated after meeting a lively woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who shakes up his mundane existence.
