Up Close & Personal: #611 BEING JOHN MALKOVICH (dir. Spike Jonze) 1999
“Do you know what a metaphysical can of worms this portal is?”
one of the year’s most anticipated Criterion releases is finally here, and it’s a thing of beauty. there’s been a lot of controversy (or what amounts to controversy in the world of niche home video, i guess) as to whether or not Criterion should have stuck with some of the film’s more familiar artwork for the cover, but their commitment to a minimalist aesthetic informs the entire package. it’s clean and spare and blithely contains the sheer insanity that’s contained within. i’m not sure the subdued, anti-expressionist feel was the best choice, but it works. oh, and you get a little pic of Malkovich dancing in a sarong, so… yeah, i’d say this is pretty special.
The Criterion Collection edition of Being John Malkovich hits stores 5/15/12. keep an eye out for my review on movies.com.
(p.s. sorry for the picture quality, my DSLR is on loan)
