/.../Prav to muči Michaela Stona (glas David Thewlis), družinskega očeta in moža, avtorja priročnika za samopomoč ter poslovnega specialista za delo s strankami, ki se leta 2005 za eno noč prijavi v hotelu Fregoli v Cincinnatiju, kjer naj bi imel naslednji dan strokovno predavanje pred občinstom. V resnici se za ljudi ne zmeni in mu jih ni pretirano mar, saj je preveč osredotočen nase ter svojo čudaško percepcijo: vsi drugi ljudje — razen pričesk in oblačil — imajo namreč enak obraz in zvenijo domala identično (glas Tom Noonan), bodisi moški, ženske ali otroci. Verižni kadilec Michael v hotelski sobi pripravlja svoj govor, konzumira pijače iz minibara in razmišlja o tem, da bi poklical nekdanje dekle izpred desetih let, ki živi v tistem mestu. Po neuspelem zmenku v hotelu po naključju naleti na gostjo, ki takoj pritegne njegovo pozornost, saj ima edina čisto svoj, ženstven glas (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Kljub temu, da ni prav brihtna, čedna in izobražena, ima nekaj kil odveč in brazgotino nad očesom, ga ženska nedoumljivo pritegne s svojo unikatnostjo. Izkaže se, da je tam službeno, prav zaradi njegove predstavitve. Lisa je preprosto "drugačna" od vseh: gre za nekakšno anomalijo. /.../Filmoljub

[ENG]

From the mind of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) comes Anomalisa, a tender, touching and achingly funny black comedy - filmed entirely in breathtaking stop motion animation.

Michael Stone, a husband, father and successful motivational speaker, is crippled by the mundanity of his life. On a business trip to a customer service convention in Cincinnati, he checks into his hotel and prepares to once more go through the motions. But this time a chance meeting with Lisa, an unassuming baked goods sales rep, throws the dullness into disarray and Michael feels he may have just met someone who can make a change...

Smart, humorously absurd and bracingly humane, Anomalisa is a technically stunning work of animation, beautifully orchestrated by co-director Duke Johnson and scored by Carter Burwell (Carol, In Bruges, Fargo). Drawing brilliant performances from David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Noonan, it sees Charlie Kaufman at his daring, dazzling best.

[RT Critics Consensus]

Anomalisa marks another brilliant and utterly distinctive highlight in Charlie Kaufman's filmography, and a thought-provoking treat for fans of introspective cinema.
