Anomalisa
Country: USA
Directors: Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson
Synopsis:
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.
A beautifully tender and absurdly humorous dreamscape, from the brilliant minds of Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, New York) and Duke Johnson ("Community" episode, Abed's Uncontrollable
Christmas), this stop-motion animation wonder features the vocal cast
of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan and David Thewlis and a stirring
strings-based score by Carter Burwell. The darkly comedic and surreal stop-motion journey of a man's long night of the soul, Anomalisa confirms Charlie Kaufman's place amongst the most important of American filmmakers, and announces Duke Johnson as a major creative force.
- Screening 1: Wednesday, October 21; 7:00pm
