Spike Jonze is the master of absurd romance movies, and even though he has only made 4 films since 1999, they're some of this generation's best.
Spike Jonze is a Jack of all trades, but he's still best known for his mind-blowing and fantastical romance movies. Since his 1999 directorial debut, Being John Malkovich, Jonze was instantly known as the enfant terrible of Hollywood due to the film's surreal narrative and unique comedy.
The movie also perfectly mixes practical outfits with digital effects to create the Wild Things' faces and expressions. The seamless blend makes for a great collection of movie monsters. However, given that the book has a bare-bones narrative, the movie doesn't add much of anything new, which leads to a film that feels a little long in the tooth, even at just 94 minutes.
The movie doesn't only feature Cage, but it has a whole cast of decorated actors, including three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep, and it's one of Chris Cooper's best movies too. The surreal film was a major awards contender, as Cage and Streep were nominated for Academy Awards, and Cooper won for Best Supporting Actor too. The only thing that potentially holds back the movie is how tied it is to Being John Malkovich without technically being a sequel.
