Adaptation.
“You are what you love, not what loves you”
The most meta, personal, introspective screenplay ever written
Kaufman is hired to adapt a screenplay for Susan Orlean’s Orchid Thief, he fails to do so, instead he turns in a script of him attempting to adapt the book, where he inserts a fictional twin brother, fictional versions of the real people from the book, and a Hollywood ending to the story
Charlie Kaufman is an absolute genius. Nicolas Cage delivers one of his best performances, Meryl Streep and Chris Cooper go toe to toe with him.
