Review of Adaptation. (2002) by Tanner B — 29 Apr 2016
Adaption. (2002) ????
Wow. I mean wow! Best. Movie. Ever. Okay maybe not, but it's still pretty good . . . if you thought BEING JOHN MALKOVICH was original (and it was) wait and see what other amazingly inventive goodies the widely imaginative Spike Jonze has up his sleeve. Try to understand this: a strange but brilliant screenwriter tries to devise a screenplay based on a book about flowers. But you'll have to watch it you really understand it. Cage, playing two roles, is simply superb, and the screenplay has an unbelievably complicated (but fascinating) subtlety about it (watching it feels like the movie knows you're watching it, and shows off its genius, almost with ease). Best of all: It's not cynical! Chris Cooper won Supporting Actor Oscar, but where's Cage's award?
