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 Notes

Note

S-Tier Sony 4K. Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze at peak meta. Sony handled the transfer cleanly and the disc mostly just sits quietly in people's collections without much active discussion.
