ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Spike Jonze (HER) delivers a quirky Academy Award nominated cult-favorite, rated 94% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, that centers on a puppeteer who discovers a portal that leads literally into the head of movie star John Malkovich. Featuring an all-star cast including John Cusack (SAY ANYTHING, HIGH FIDELITY), Cameron Diaz (VANILLA SKY, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY) and Oscar nominee Catherine Keener (CAPOTE, GET OUT), Chicago Tribune raves, "Weird to the max, smart, sneaky as a Wall Street pickpocket and revved up with cruel wit and brazen imagination, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH is a dark movie comedy that you couldn't forget if you tried."

SYNOPSIS

Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) is a struggling street puppeteer. In order to make some money, Craig takes a job as a filing clerk. One day he accidentally discovers a door… a portal into the mind of John Malkovich (played by John Malkovich)! For 15 minutes, he experiences the ultimate head trip - He is John Malkovich! Then he’s dumped out onto the New Jersey turnpike! With his beautiful office mate Maxine (Catherine Keener) and his pet-obsessed wife (Cameron Diaz), they hatch a plan to let others into John’s brain for just $200 a trip.
