Plot
At last a movie for anyone who ever wanted to be someone... else. Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) an unappreciated puppeteer takes a filing clerk job on the 7th-and-a-half floor of an office building. Bored with his ten-year marriage to Lotte (Cameron Diaz), he becomes obsessed with the beautiful Maxine (Catherine Keener), who rejects him. Dejected, Craig retreats into his office. In a moment of exasperation, Craig slams a filing cabinet and discovers a passageway. Sucked through a dark, wet tunnel, Craig then realises that he has just discovered an all-access pass to the unique experience that is... John Malkovich! He is being John Malkovich. And that is just the beginning in this daringly original black comedy and instant classic from director Spike Jonze.
