to your wish list?
Storyline:
Theater director Caden Cotard is mounting a new play. Fresh off of a successful production of Death of a Salesman, he has traded in the suburban blue-hairs and regional theater of Schenectady for the cultured audiences and bright footlights of Broadway. Armed with a MacArthur grant and determined to create a piece of brutal realism and honesty, something into which he can put his whole self, he gathers an ensemble cast into a warehouse in Manhattan's theater district. He directs them in a celebration of the mundane, instructing each to live out their constructed lives in a small mockup of the city outside. As the city inside the warehouse grows, Caden's own life veers wildly off the tracks. The shadow of his ex-wife Adele, a celebrated painter who left him years ago for Germany's art scene, sneers at him from every corner. Somewhere in Berlin, his daughter Olive is growing up under the questionable guidance of Adele's friend...

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who got it! Hilarious if you have a morbid sense of humor...yet deeply moving and thought provoking
synecdoche - a figure of speech in which a part is used for the whole or the whole for a part, the special for the general or the general for the special

Charlie Kaufman's first film as both writer and director is a dazzling, dark, deeply textured mind puzzle of a cinematic experience. Granted, for those who want easy entertainments, this film wil be a little too much to grapple with on a single viewing. But for those up for a challenge, it is a rich and compelling film full of exquisitely realized existentialism and fascinating acting. Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as a neurotic theatrical director in up state New York who's life seems to unravel ( both figuratively and literally ) when his equally disturbed wife leaves on an extended European jaunt with their young daughter. He begins to search for the answers of his physical malladies and lonelieness through a performance art piece he initiates after receiving an artistic grant by hiring scoes of actors to live out his life as realistically as he can conjur up theatrically in the vast space of an old aircraft carrier hanger! What transpires is nothing short of astounding!

I found it quite amazing on many levels. (acting, visuals, dialog, concepts...) That's not to say that I understand it. It's certainly confusing but really that's part of the fun of it. It definitely stuck in my head and I'm probably going to go back to see it again to try to "get" more of it.
Almost a cinematic Finnegan's Wake.
If you're not in the mood for something different or challenging then this is probably not the movie for you. (but you should go anyhow)

This movie is for the thinking man or woman. Don't expect the director/plot/actors to tell you what it means or what you are supposed to come away with. I personally left the theater in awe because, in spite of how artificial the whole plot and situation is, I felt committed to think about the meaning of life and get on with living.

I saw this at the Cannes Film Festival. Charlie Kaufman is a genius. It's real life. Don't miss it.
