Following
up their acclaimed debut, Being John
Malkovich, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director
Spike Jonze are on top form with Adaptation. This is storytelling
at its most bewildering, brilliant and inventive. Cage is
quite superb in the dual role of the Kaufman brothers; they
may appear identical but they have completely different
personalities and Cage makes them both believable people.
Cage is more than ably supported by Streep and Cooper along
with a host of other stars. There is so much to see in this
film that any attempt at a synopsis is futile - not to be
missed.
