Kaufman and Jonze steer us through a truly twisted psychological and existential swamp.

Fabulously funny and delightfully disturbed, "Being John Malkovich'' is the ultimate voyeur movie, a dark and at times malevolent take on what it's like to be in someone else's skull, looking out.

The beauty of the film is the way it elevates John Malkovich from an actor to an axiom.

The fact that it manages to carry its open-mouthed audience through every awesomely enigmatic turn is its greatest accomplishment.
