Spike Jonze / Charlie Kauffman

Writers, directors, producers etc. these two men are brilliant examples of postmodernistic cinema and the creativety and surrealism that seems to come with it.

Spike Jonze's work.



'I'm Here' - Jonze's excellent short film about robot love and is a celebration to life enriched by creativity.


'Where The Wild Thing's Are' - Jonze's scream adaptation of the classic childrens book by Maurice Sendak.


'Being John Malkovich' - Kauffman's surreal, yet excellent film about...whatever it is really about...


'Adaptation' - A Jonze/Kauffman film about Kauffman's writing life and his turn to help from his twin brother Donald. (Basically an autobiography of Kauffman's life by himself)


Charlie Kauffman's work

'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'


'Human Nature'


This also lead me onto Michael Gondry, another eccentric writer who replicates Kauffman's/Jonze's amazing writing abilities. His collobaration with Kauffman was through 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.

'Be Kind Rewind'


'The Science of Sleep'


'Lost in Translation'


Gondry and Jonze are also keen Music Video diretors'producers who have worked with the likes of Bjork, The Beastie Boys and Weezer.
