Charlie Kaufman is a confused L.A. screenwriter overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy, sexual frustration, self-loathing, and by the screenwriting ambitions of his freeloading twin brother Donald. While struggling to adapt "The Orchid Thief," by Susan Orlean, Kaufman's life spins from pathetic to bizarre. The lives of Kaufman, Orlean's book, become strangely intertwined as each one's search for passion collides with the others'.
Editor's Verdict
"Despite a 'Holiday Release' date, 'Adaptation.' contains no meaningful narrative connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography. The plot and character arcs are entirely focused on screenwriting struggles, identity crisis, and artistic adaptation."
