#28 - Spike Jonze - Being John Malkovich (1999)
We headed back to 1999 and dived inside Spike Jonze’s head, who dived inside Charlie Kaufman’s head, who dived inside John Malkovich’s head, to bring you our episode on Spikes Jonze’s directorial debut, Being John Malkovich. A peculiar but highly entertaining film that can be read in so many ways, with John Malkovich putting his very name above the door. Thank god it did well.
It’s amazing to realise that Spike Jonze, despite being a household name, has only directed 4 features. His illustrious career as a music video and short film director has almost brought as much credibility to his talents as his features (which are still impeccable). Even before tackling Being John Malkovich, he was a sought after director with a penchant for unusual ideas and visuals, ultimately making him perfect for the job of dissecting writer Charlie Kaufman’s film.
So join us as we jump inside John Malkovich, as well as jumping inside the cinema vs streaming debate (when do we never) to dissect one of the most original films we’ve taken apart, as well as hearing Louis’ theory on the building schematics for the 7 1/2 floor.
Enjoy.
