Being John Malkovich

I re-watched “Being John Malkovich” after a long time; what a brilliant, surprising and witty movie it is.

Charlie Kaufmann, the screenwriter, deservedly received a lot of credit for the brilliance of this flick. I find it equally astonishing that the film was directed by Spike Jonze, who previously was behind the television milestone “Jackass.” (Granted, he also directed the video for Beastie Boys “Sabotage,” arguably the best music video ever made.)
