Relive that awkward moment of when you first meet your potential true love in the new clip for the animated film, ‘Anomalisa.’ The clip, which is titled ‘Hall,’ was unveiled by the comedy-drama’s distributor, Paramount Pictures, which has released the movie in select theaters. The Oscar-nominated stop-motion film was co-directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Charlie Kaufman, who also wrote the script, and Duke Johnson.

Paramount Pictures has released the following synopsis for ‘Anomalisa’:

Michael Stone, husband, father and respected author of ‘How May I Help You Help Them?’ is a man crippled by the mundanity of his life. On a business trip to Cincinnati, where he’s scheduled to speak at a convention of customer service professionals, he checks into the Fregoli Hotel. There, he is amazed to discover a possible escape from his desperation in the form of an unassuming Akron baked goods sales rep, Lisa, who may or may not be the love of his life. A beautifully tender and absurdly humorous dreamscape, from the brilliant minds of Charlie Kaufman (‘Synecdoche, New York’) and Duke Johnson (‘Community’ episode, ‘Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas’), this stop-motion animation wonder features the vocal cast of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan and David Thewlis and a stirring strings-based score by Carter Burwell.
