Tittle: Being John Malkovich
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Year: 1999
Plot: This wild, dark and at times quite funny little gem (with a wonderful lesbian/transgendered twist) is reminiscent of Eraserhead (though decidedly more accessible) and te films off Jan Svankmajer and the Brother Quay. John Cusack stars s the haplless Craig Schwartz, an immesely ttalented puppeteer who toils in obscurity and lives in a shabby New York City apartment with his dotting but dumpy wife Lotte (an almost unrecognizable Diaz). While working in a bizarre office on the 71/ flooor of a building, he stumbles upon a hidden doorway which, when entered, transports people into the psyche (body? Id?) of John Malkovich and then, after about 15 minutes, spits tem out onn the Jersey turnpike. He quickly joins forces with his coldly beautiful co-worker Maxine (Catherine Keener) to market this “portal” in the off-hours. Lesbians will enjoy the second half of the film when wife Lotte takes the tour and gets great pleasure in “being” a man sexually, a feeling that leads her to consider transsexualism. Adding to the sexual confusion is when Maxine begins dating Malkovich and Lotte enters him when the two make loe. Soon MMaxine will only have sex with Malkovich when she knows Lotte is inside him! In fat, she coonfesses to both Craig and Lotti that she loves Lotte, but only when Lotte is inside John. There’s more to this lesbian spin, but its best just to watch the film! source tlavideo
