Director : Spike Jonze
Running Time : 115 mins
Charlie Kaufman (Cage) is asked to work on a screenplay for the adaptation of a non-fiction novel, ‘The Orchid Thief’. The trouble is he can’t find enough interesting material surrounding the subject of orchids to fill an entire movie and, coupled with his own personal problems, he starts to descend into an insecure spiral of depression.
This, like most of Kaufman’s movies, is odd and almost without a plot, with crazy things happening straight out of left field one second, and absolutely nothing the next. It’s no surprise that the subject matter of this movie caused such difficulty for Kaufman, and it’s just luck that he managed to come up with something even slightly entertaining, though more often than not this is completely off the wall. Do not watch this unless you are a fan of his work, his influence definitely shows.
