Charlie Kaufman gained many fans as the writer of Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine, before turning director for Synecdoche New York. Now he’s returning to the director’s chair for a stop-motion animated movie, but one which seems just as steeped in his eccentric world.
The film recently won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival, and is billed as ‘a stop-motion comedy-drama starring David Thewlis, who plays an author and motivational speaker who falls in love with Jennifer Jason Leighs character Lisa even though he cant initially explain why.’
Anomalisa will be in US cinemas at the end of the year, with a March UK release set.
