"This smart, fanciful and brilliantly staged comedy takes a truly one-of-a-kind premise and makes it, of all things, a weirdly profound meditation on consciousness, identity, fame, gender and reality."---Ann Hornaday, Baltimore Sun
"A terrific original screenplay by Charlie Kaufman...intriguingly prophetic, irresistible, nimble, and very funny."---Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Craing Schwartz (John Cusack), a gifted street-puppeteer, finds that New York City has little use for his special talents. Worse, his ten-year marriage to Lotte (Cameron Diaz), a workaholic pet-store employee, has turned stale. Then Craig lands a job as a filing clerk in an office building, and one night, rummaging behind a filing cabinet, he comes upon a hidden passageway that leads straight into the mind of John Malkovich! The hapless Malkovich is not consulted, and quickly finds his body becoming a battleground as feuding lovers, not to mention paying customers, start taking turns to see the world through his eyes.
In addition to the original script, this Newmarket Shooting Script® Book features a hilarious, angst-ridden introduction by Kaufman.
Being John Malkovich; Human Nature; Adaptation; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; and Synecdoche, New York are all available in the Newmarket Shooting Script® Series.
