About
A meta, mind-bending comedy from acclaimed director Spike Jonze, Adaptation stars Nicolas Cage as Charlie Kaufman, the film's screenwriter, as well as his fictional twin brother Donald. "Charlie" has been tasked with adapting the book 'The Orchid Thief' by Susan Orlean for screen. As he battles writer's block and his aspirational brother, he seeks out Orlean (Meryl Streep) and discovers her unusual relationship with the subject of her book, John Laroche (Chris Cooper, in an Academy Award-winning performance.) Forever curling around itself in ingenious ways, Adaptation is a masterful, moving and mirthful take on the creative process.
