Adaptation

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of this haywire collaboration between director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, who turns the idea of adapting New Yorker writer Susan Orlean’s book The Orchid Thief into an unpredictable comedy starring Nicolas Cage as a fictional Kaufman and as Donald Kaufman, his parasitic twin brother. The wild meta romp also stars Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, Tilda Swinton and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
