Charlie (Nicolas Cage) has a problem. His sex life is a mess. His script, an adaptation of the very real New York Times bestseller The Orchid Thief – an investigative reportage into the story of orchid hunter John Laroche (Chris Cooper) by writer Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep) — is unfinished. And then there’s the problem of his screenwriter twin brother with ambitions of his own, also played by Nicolas Cage. With his creative process at the mercy of Hollywood demands, he soon finds himself writing in the margins of reality and fiction as a character in his own screenplay. An irreverent script, a film – featuring Cage as a thinly-veiled characterization of scribe Charlie Kaufman – in constant state of evolution.
