Being John Malkovich

Up next in our Party Like It’s 1999 series is Being John Malkovich, Spike Jonze’s wildly inventive dark comedy!

Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) is a struggling puppeteer who discovers a portal inside a mundane office building that leads directly into the mind of actor John Malkovich. Upon entering, people can experience life as Malkovich for 15 minutes before being ejected onto the side of a New Jersey highway. Craig, along with his wife Lotte (Cameron Diaz) and his colleague Maxine (Catherine Keener), devises a scheme to sell access to the portal. As they exploit this bizarre opportunity, tensions rise, relationships become strained, and Malkovich himself begins to unravel as he confronts the bizarre invasion of his mind.
