Anomalisa
First screened in September 2015

---

Directors: Duke Johnson and Charlie Kaufman. Animated. Voice Cast: David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan. Screenplay: Charlie Kaufman (based on his sound play).

Twitter Capsule: Could summon no enthusiasm. The self-pity of Kaufman's men is usually ballasted by much more creative detail or insight.

VOR: ④  A coherent extension of the Kaufmanverse, even if I found it wan by comparison to its comparisons. Technically and formally adventurous. Most viewers more effusive. Go form an opinion!
