Ten Films to See at TIFF 2015

2. Anomalisa

Charlie Kaufman is one of the greatest auteurs that emerged in cinema during the beginning of the 21^st century. Kaufman wrote the witty, poignant and high-concept screenplays for challenging films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, and Being John Malkovich. Anomalisa marks the first time Kaufman is working with animation and his second time in the director’s chair. The only description of the film we have is that it’s about a man who “struggles with his inability to connect with other people.” Knowing Kaufman, who put us inside the mind of John Malkovich, and made a film about a theater play, inside a theater play–ad infinitum, there will be a lot more to Anomalisa.
