A Second Look: 'Being John Malkovich' is a surreal mind trip

The 1999 Spike Jonze-directed story of people seeking 15 minutes of an ultimate fan fantasy is a riff on modern celebrity culture.

One of the greatest first films in all of American cinema, "Being John Malkovich" (1999) introduced audiences to Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman, two of the most distinctive voices in contemporary movies. A mad scramble of surrealist tropes and philosophical ideas, it marked the acme of Hollywood's passing interest in existentialist postmodernism, which manifested itself through the '90s in such meta-movies as"Groundhog Day,""The Truman Show" and"The Matrix."
