Anomalisa

From the singularly brilliant, offbeat imagination of screenwriter and codirector Charlie Kaufman (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND) comes a beautifully tender and surreally humorous stop-motion-animated dreamscape about one man’s long night of the soul. Michael Stone, husband, father, and respected author of “How May I Help You Help Them?” is a man crippled by the mundanity of his life. On a business trip to Cincinnati, where he’s scheduled to speak at a convention of customer-service professionals, he checks into the Fregoli Hotel. There, he is amazed to discover a possible escape from his desperation in the form of an unassuming Akron baked-goods sales rep, Lisa, who may or may not be the love of his life.
