The Living Deadbeat

I saw this for the first time this evening. It’s extraordinary, and there’s really no way it should work, but somehow it does. Mr. Malkovich is a very fine actor, and the rest of the cast is solid too (although the Cameron Diaz character takes some getting used to; she’s very much playing against type in this movie). I don’t really have anything else to write about it. Just try to see it, if you haven’t already; it’s very rare to see quirky film ideas realised this well.
