Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
A ragged collection of "special features" offered upon A Universal DVD of the estimable Spike Jonze-directed work BEING JOHN MALKOVICH includes this very short item, a piece that is simplistic to an extreme, being merely dark hour footage of a young extra player whose sole assigned task is to drive her automobile slowly along what allegedly is a portion of the New Jersey Turnpike as a scene is being shot during the original production. Speaking to a videotape wielding passenger, the woman chatters aimlessly, for the most part concerning another extra for whom she has developed some degree of distaste, and that is all that we see and hear. Without doubt, the young woman will feel delight at watching herself in action, but for others one viewing will be quite enough.
