BREAK-UP ARTIST
It’s been four years since idiosyncratic writer/director Charlie Kaufman melted brains with Anomalisa, or a dozen if you don’t count films populated entirely by sex-starved puppets. After far too long away from screens Kaufman is back with I’m Thinking Of Ending Things, an existential break-up movie that puts him firmly back in Eternal Sunshine territory.
Adapted from Iain Reid’s 2016 bestseller, it stars Jessie Buckley and Jesse Plemons as a couple en route to dinner at his parents’ (Toni Collette and David Thewlis). She’s about working with one of cinema’s most singular voices.
