BEING JOHN MALKOVICH

February 13, 20 & 27, 2025
Being John Malkovich
Introduced by Olympia Film Society’s Angel Camama on 2/13
Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Or, more specifically, have you ever wanted to crawl through a portal hidden in an anonymous office building and thereby enter the cerebral cortex of John Malkovich for fifteen minutes, before being spat out on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike? Then director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman have the movie for you. Melancholy marionettes, office drudgery, a frizzy-haired Cameron Diaz—but that’s not all! Surrealism, possession, John Cusack, a domesticated primate, Freud, Catherine Keener, non sequiturs, and absolutely no romance! But wait: get your Being John Malkovich now and we’ll throw in emasculation, slapstick, Abelard and Heloise, and extra Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich!
Dir: Spike Jonze / 1999 / US / 113 min

“What an endlessly inventive movie this is! [Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman] supplies a stream of dazzling inventions, twists and wicked paradoxes. And the director, Spike Jonze, doesn’t pounce on each one like fresh prey, but unveils it slyly.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

SCREENING: THU 2/13 7PM; THU 2/20 4PM; THU 2/27 7PM

$13 GA & $10 OFS. Tickets are available at the box office 30 minutes before showtimes.
