Synopsis:
Nicholas Cage is Charlie Kaufman, a confused L.A. screenwriter overwhlemed by
feelings of inadequacy, sexual frustration, self loathing-and by the screenwriting
ambitions of his freeloading twin brother Donald (also Nicholas Cage). While struggling
to adapt "The Orchid Theif," by Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep), Kaufman's
life spins from pathetic to bizarre. The lives of Kaufman, Orlean and John Laroche
(Chris Cooper), the orchid poacher and the subject of Orlean's book, become strangely
intertwined as each one's search for passion collides with the others'.
Screenplay by Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman and directed by Spike Jonze.
