Another quirky drama written by Charlie Kaufman, the master of such things. This is another of 2004's most finely crafted films.
Original and compelling, a real treat to watch even if it does feel like a long music video in places. Brilliant! Great soundtrack too!

I was able to bear it only up to around 30 minutes, after which I was unable to take the torture anymore. Though appreciated & applauded by lots, this one's obviously not my cup of tea.
Crazy movie :) Still pretty awesome though. I keep forgetting this as one of Jim's "serious movies" before "The Number 23". Weird.
