Overview
Nicolas Cage is Charlie Kaufman, a confused L.A. screenwriter overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy, sexual frustration, self-loathing, and by the screenwriting ambitions of his freeloading twin brother Donald. While struggling to adapt “The Orchid Thief,” by Susan Orlean, Kaufman’s life spins from pathetic to bizarre. The lives of Kaufman, Orlean’s book, become strangely intertwined as each one’s search for passion collides with the others’.

Viewing Notes
Spike Jonze blindspot blind no more with Adaptation officially off the list. Not bad to see 2 good (great?) Nic Cage performances in one week (why can’t he get more work like this, me asks). Chris Cooper also terrific here and nice small part by Judy Greer, whom I heart. Just wish the disc had some special features incl. Stephen Tobolowsky’s deleted scenes, dammit.
