Adaptation. (2002)

Although assuredly atypical, Adaptation's as absorbing as abstruse. Kaufman's creative capacity's confirmed as cream of the crop. Clearly Cage's career climaxes concurrently - can anyone claim contrarily?

Adaptation. (2002)

A perfect self parody of meta, Kaufman utilizes ideas so seemingly pretentious that they would make me turn it off right before thinking "At least I'm not as insufferable as the guy who made this" and balances them with awareness and self-deprecation to within milligrams. See it.

Adaptation. (2002)

Another Charlie Kaufman quirkfest, this time about Charlie Kaufman and Charlie Kaufman's fictional twin brother Donald who in the movie is real but in real life isn't but who was credited as a writer on the script. So meta I'm pretty sure I'm Charlie Kaufman.
