{4\/5} “I love pressing the buttons… It’s so, I don’t know, buttony.”<\/p>\n
Anomalisa<\/strong>, released in 2016<\/p>\n Michael is an author who flies into Cincinnati for a day to give a presentation about customer service. He calls up his ex-girlfriend whom he hasn’t seen in 10 years but that doesn’t go well. He has a bit of a problem — everyone he meets looks and sounds like the same person. Then he runs into one person who’s different — Lisa, a woman who’s attending his presentation.<\/p>\n It’s stop-motion animation in a unique style.<\/p>\n The first part of the movie is a bit slow.<\/p>\n Except for the 2 main characters, all the other characters are voiced by the same person. I found this quite strange, but it’s done for a reason.<\/p>\n The story is mostly low key, in the vein of Lost in Translation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I didn’t like it quite as much as I thought I might, but it’s worth watching. I found the ending a bit too ambiguous for my taste.<\/p>\n Charlie Kaufman, the co-director and writer, is the writer of Being John Malkovich<\/strong> and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Stars the voices of David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Tom Noonan. Directed by Duke Johnson (the TV show Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole<\/strong>) and Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, New York<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4\/5} “I love pressing the buttons… It’s so, I don’t know, buttony.” Anomalisa, released in 2016 Michael is an author who flies into Cincinnati for a day to give a presentation about customer service.
