Anomalisa

Animated Feature Films

Anomalisa is a 2015 stop-motion animated film directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson, following a middle-aged customer service expert who perceives every other person as having an identical face and voice until he meets a woman named Lisa at a Cincinnati hotel, an encounter that becomes a surreal meditation on connection and perception. The film was the first R-rated animated feature nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and it won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, the first animated film to receive that award. Its use of stop-motion for an adult psychological drama rather than family entertainment marked a deliberate departure from the medium's usual audience and subject matter.
