Adaptation.

R Time:115
A neurotic screenwriter's intense inner struggle to adapt a book about a man who steals a rare flower forms the core of this "bewilderingly brilliant and entertaining" (Roger Ebert) film from director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich). Nicolas Cage does double duty portraying stressed-out scribe Charlie Kaufman and his outgoing, but shallow twin brother Donald. Within their drama lies a second story layer involving the blossoming relationship between the buttoned-down author (Meryl Streep) whose novel Kaufman is adapting and the inspiring, but slightly mad flower thief (Chris Cooper, who won the 2002 Best Supporting Actor Oscar(R) for this performance). "The boldest and most imaginative studio film of the year" (L.A. Times).
