Focus on Film: 'Adaptation'
In April Focus on Film is showing movies about The Writer’s Life to celebrate National Poetry Month. Charlie Kaufman (Nicholas Cage) is commissioned to write a screenplay from the bestselling (real) book The Orchid Thief by Susan Orleon (Meryl Streep). Battling writer’s block, he calls on his twin brother, a hack writer (also played by Cage), for help. Also stars Tilda Swinton and Chris Cooper, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. One of the three other Oscar nominations was ironically for Best Writing for an Adapted Screenplay.
