Anomalisa is a 2015 American adult animated film directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson from a screenplay written by Kaufman, based on a 2005 audio play of the same name by Kaufman that explores the Fregoli delusion, a term that Kaufman used as a pen name for himself. Incorporates elements of psychological drama, romantic comedy and self-reflexive fiction, a similar vein of Kaufman's own screenwriting 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.
