A screenwriter struggles to adapt a book that he feels is unadaptable.
That synopsis doesn’t even begin to touch the complexity and exhilaration of director Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman’s mind bending film about creation, frustration, and integrity.
The line between fact and fiction blurs and the narrative turns back on itself like a celluloid Moebius strip.
Just watch it.
