What is Anomalisa about?
An inspirational speaker becomes reinvigorated after meeting a lively woman who shakes up his mundane existence.
Anomalisa is a 2015 American adult animated comedy-drama film directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson from a screenplay by Kaufman, based on his 2005 audio play that explores the Fregoli delusion, a term Kaufman used as a pen name for himself. It incorporates elements of psychological drama, romantic comedy, and self-reflexive fiction in surrealist style, in a similar vein as Kaufman's film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Anomalisa follows the British middle-aged customer service expert Michael Stone, who perceives everyone as identical except for Lisa Hesselman, whom he meets in a Cincinnati hotel.
