Adaptation
Despite the misleading title, Jakub Janz was not inspired by the work of Spike Jonze. He is actually just resurrecting an old joke. Adaptation is an absurd voice in the endless discussion about the differences between films and books.As arbiters in this fervent dispute, the director enlists a herd of goats. Once again, it turns out that everything is a matter of taste.
