One of the best films I've seen in the past few years, which is saying a lot.
Charlie Kaufman writes movies. However, he goes largely unnoticed by most people, living in the shadow of his more popular brother Donald who has an ego the size of a small planet. After the success of the movie, "Being John Malkovich", he wants to continue to do great movies. But his next assignment is a real doozy...
He has been assigned to adapt a book about orchids, titled "The Orchid Thief", into a movie. However, it's such a powerful and moving book about what seems to be absolutely nothing, he has no idea how to begin.
The movie is a wonderful comedy-drama about the trials and tribulations of being a writer. I don't know, maybe it spoke to me a lot more than other people, but it was a great movie and one well worth seeing.
