Prime Video is celebrating spooky season with a cult-favorite comedy that swings more existential horror than you might expect. Rarely do I find a movie I can honestly say is like nothing I've ever seen before, but "Being John Malkovich" is one such film. It's unwaveringly bizarre, an "Alice in Wonderland" for the modern age. The kind of surreal "What the hell did I just watch?" movie that burrows into your brain for years to come.
Now that "Being John Malkovich" has landed on Prime Video, I encourage you to check out (or revisit) this fever dream. Over 25 years ago, "Being John Malkovich" marked the remarkable debut of two visionary talents: screenwriter Charlie Kaufman ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "Synecdoche, New York") and director Spike Jonze ("Her"). Kaufman's sharply cerebral storytelling seems plucked from some wonderfully bizarre inner dimension. But instead of trying to decode what it all means, it's best to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
