Being John Malkovich

🎬 Intro to Being John Malkovich

Tonight’s film is one of the most inventive and mind-bending comedies of the late 1990s — Being John Malkovich, directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman.

What begins as a quirky tale of a puppeteer stuck in a dead-end job quickly spirals into a surreal exploration of identity, fame, and control — all sparked by the discovery of a mysterious portal into the mind of actor John Malkovich.

Funny, bizarre, and endlessly original, this cult classic is a brilliant mix of absurdist humour and existential questions.

So settle in and prepare to take a journey… inside someone else’s head.
