Being John Malkovich (1999)
Craig, a puppeteer, takes a filing job in a low-ceilinged office in Manhattan. Although married to the slightly askew Lotte, he hits on a colleague, the sexually frank Maxine. She's bored but snaps awake when he finds a portal leading inside John Malkovich: for 15 minutes you see, hear, and feel whatever JM is doing, then you fall out by the New Jersey Turnpike... (imdb)

Very weird film. Maybe its really difficult script. I just got the feeling that the movie is like the office on 7,5 floor - something between it could be.

It's hard to discern what is real, metaphorical, or delusional. The main character allows for a wide range of possible explanations. Of course, the ending raises more questions that will have you questioning the entire film. It's hard to find a more original idea, and the execution is great. Every character feels developed and efficient. Great casting and awesome performances all around.

Unique and peculiar. The humor vacillates from dark to light to cringeworthy. The cast was fantastic; they all seemed to relish their roles. And although the movie shows only a few minutes of it, there is some amazing puppetry work throughout.

Excellent absurd concept that somehow ends up mostly being a vehicle for a love triangle where one side is a fairly endearing transgender exploration and one is a metaphysical mind-rape. It's pretty crazy and kinda funny but there's just not enough...well, John Malkovich.

Being John Malkovich starts of odd and just weirder. The entire cast is great, with some assistance from hair-and-makeup. The screenplay keeps it exciting, and it genuinely feels original. A niggling complaint is that the film punishes Cusack's character while rewarding Lotte and Maxine. At times the dialogue is a little tiresome, but it's a good film nonetheless.
