Adaptation. (2002) Charlie Kaufman writes a film about failing to write a film about a book about orchids. He put his actual neuroses on screen; the self-loathing and the conviction that anything authentic must also be uncommercial. Then he invented a twin brother who is everything he wishes he could be. Confident, productive, happy. The third act surrenders to every convention Charlie spent the whole film refusing. Car chases, drug dealers, death. You can feel his horror at his own script....
