‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things’ Stars Talk the Genius of Writer/Director Charlie Kaufman

It’s been five years since moviegoers were gifted – and utterly befuddled by – a new Charlie Kaufman movie. In September, the mind behind ‘Being John Malkovich,’ ‘Anomalisa,’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ releases his newest film as director and writer, ‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things,’ on Netflix. The adaptation of Iain Reed’s celebrated novel stars Jessie Buckley and Jesse Plemons as a young couple driving through a snowstorm to meet Plemons’ character’s parents, and Toni Collette and David Thewlis as the bizarre mom and dad they eventually encounter. As usual, nothing – time, space, memory, even rooms – is what it seems. Ahead of the movie’s release, Rotten Tomatoes Editor-in-Chief Joel Meares jumped on a Zoom call with Kaufman, Buckley, Plemons, and Collette to talk through the challenge of bringing this dense, smart, and very Kaufman project to the screen.
