ANOMALISA 

Having written critically acclaimed films like BEING JOHN MALKOVICH (1999), ADAPTATION (2002), and ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004), Charlie Kaufman has been lauded by critics for his originality in depicting humanity. His perspectives are honestly creative, and often angsty, and he’s back with another non-conforming treat in the form of stop-motion adult animated comedy-drama. Titled simply ANOMALISA, Kaufman wrote and co-directed the film (with Duke Johnson) which stars voices of David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Noonan.

Anomalisa follows David Stone (Thewlis), author of best-selling books on customer service, who amidst his business trip to Cincinnati, loneliness and on the verge of an existential free-fall, meets and finds companionship in Lisa (Leigh), a frumpy and low-esteemed fan. Equally unhappy and lost about life, both finds a beautiful connection. Premiering at the Telluride Film Festival in September, the film has already won the Grand Jury Prize at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival and even creating some Oscar-buzz. Scheduled for theatrical release by year end, this adult-animation is contending in four categories in the recently announced Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Female (Leigh).
