Weird and wonderful world of Kaufman

FOR mind-bending cinema, look no further than Charlie Kaufman (1999'sBeing John Malkovich, and 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

The writer-producer-director is one of Hollywood's most original filmmakers and his surreal works are the stuff film students can spend hours dissecting.

But his movies are less experimental than they sound. As much as they mess with the audience's heads, they always make it a point to touch their hearts.
