When Michael calls Bella, he mentions that he didn’t recognize her voice. This implies that the last time he spoke with her she sounded unique. Not the same Fregoli voice he’s been hearing from everyone else. Except now she’s like everyone else. This rules out the idea that he ran because she succumbed to the Fregoli-ing that we witness with Lisa a...
What follows with Lisa is an experience that sends Michael’s soul into a blissful state. He adores Lisa. Can’t hear her speak enough. They connect, emotionally and physically. What joy!

And this is strange because Lisa had been, when we first met her, such a shy and scared person. In the hotel room, alone with Michael, Lisa kept calling herse...
With all this said, my ultimate conclusion is that Anomalisais a cautionary tale about running from yourself. If you run from yourself, you will run from others. If you run from others, then your relationships will be hollow. If your relationships are hollow, you will feel hollow. If you feel hollow, you don’t like how you feel. If you don’t like h...
