Anomalisa (2015)
I actually watch Marcel the Shell with Shoes On a couple days ago which is very much a similar type of film to Charlie Kaufman's Anomalisa. Anomalisa is basically a story of the disenfranchised and disaffected...a middle aged man who works in customer service is on a business trip. We find out very quickly that to him everyone talks the same and he is trapped in a sense of ennui.
During the course of his trip he runs across a woman that actually sounded different (played by Jessica Jason-Leigh) a psychically and emotionally scared insecure woman. The charm and power of a film like this is that it blends the mundane horrors of life with fantasy scenes. This is one of those films that you almost want to study to try really dig into metaphors and visuals.
This is also a film that you likely couldn't make live action. The sexual scenes in the film are fairly graphic and would read very differently if it were live action. I also love the design of Michael Stone a man basically running out of time his son looks like he had him in his mid-forties so it adds another element to the character's frustrations and desperation for a better life. You really feel the sense disillusionment in the story. Michael has almost fetishized Lisa while Lisa's flaws and vulnerabilities are put on display. This movie reminded me a lot of the film Naked but it almost felt more real to me because the characters were so grounded.
