What a crazy, crazy, crazy film. I don't even know what to think of this one or what the point was, exactly.The story is about a man (played by Cage) who is writing a screenplay of a book written by a woman (Streep). The book is entirely about orchids (and quite boring, from what I gather). The man lives with his loser brother (also played by Cage), who decides to become a screenwriter as well.
The screenplay isn't going well, so the man decides to look farther into the story—and all kinds of bizarre things start happening / are revealed.
I can't lie. I thought this one was quite slow and often boring. Nicolas Cage was adequate, but not great. Chris Cooper, who played a minor (but integral) role, definitely stole the show.
You'd really have to see this one for yourself. But I will say one thing for it—it was different.
Rating: 2.5
