Being John Malkovich is the most surreal comedy that I have seen for quite a while, but it is also refreshningly unconventional, intelligent and funny.
The unemployed puppeteer Craig Scwartz applies for an office job in Lester Corp. - and gets it. On the 7 1/2 floor where the company is located Craig stumbles on a hole in the wall which leads right into the actor John Malkovich's head. For fifteen minutes he experiences how it is to be Malkovich. After that he is evicted from the brain and lands close to the New Jersey turnpike outside New York. His co-worker Maxine, whom Craig has fallen in love with, immediately realizes that selling trips into the star's head is a sure money-spinner.
Under the crazy plot, themes such as ordinary people's attitude to stardom and the desire to be someone else can be found.
