Anomalisa is a 2015 American adult animated film directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson from a screenplay by Kaufman, based on his 2005 audio play of the same name 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 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.
