Not a completely novel concept, executed in a completely novel way to fascinating effect. What is it like to be a bat? Ask Thomas Nagel. What is it like to be John Malkovich? That anyone could tell you. Or could they? What does John know about it? (The restaurant scene is out of this world). Its an intricately weaved web of intricate connections. May be at the heart it means we are made of many people or just that all our souls are one as any God-smart Hindu will tell you. At the base of it may just lie physical attraction though. Better overall than Harry Potters platform 3.5 or somesuch. Do puppets have anything to do with it? Maybe.
There was a Gay from Khartoum
Who once took a Lesbian to his room
They argued all night,
Over who had the right,
To do what, how and with Whom.
Being John Malkovich (1999) (8/10)
