Milwaukee Record Presents: Adaptation (2002)

To begin... We open by telling you Milwaukee Record is screening 'Adaptation,' the fantastic 2002 Spike Jonze film, at the Avalon Atmospheric Theater on Wednesday, August 19 at 7 p.m.! Tickets are only $9, and are on sale NOW!
No! We open on a brief synopsis of the film! It’s a deliriously meta story that follows real-life screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Nicolas Cage) and his not-so-real-life twin brother Donald (Nicolas Cage) as the former struggles to adapt a book from real-life author Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep) and the latter blunders his way through his own script about a serial killer or something!
No! We open on Chris Cooper, who plays real-life Florida horticulturist John Laroche—a.k.a. the subject of Orlean’s real-life book The Orchid Thief—and who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor!
No! We open with mentions of the generous sponsors of our monthly Avalon screenings: Lakefront Brewery, Gruber Law Offices, and Skilos: A Family Pet Store!
This whole movie is great. See you August 19!
