Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) latest film/directorial debut Synecdoche, New York comes out on October 24th (America). I can't wait to see it.
I'm pissed. This movie came out a couple weeks ago, but none of the cinemas in my area are playing it. Apparently it's a limited release, which means I'm screwed. This usually happens with certain films I'd like to see; frustrating.

This movie's out on dvd and I finally got the chance to see it. Expect the same bizarre surreal elements from any Kaufman film, except expect to understand less of this film. I think it'd be safe to say that this is maybe his least accessible film, it's difficult to comprehend the first time through, so I'll have to watch it again. Anyone have any thoughts on this film? It's probably the most underrated movie of 2008.
Definitely the most difficult to follow out of Kaufman's films. It gives you a lot to think about but I found it hard to get too involved with the storyline/characters because it was so jolting and sporadic. Ideas seemed to trail off to nowhere but I suppose that could have been a desired effect. I look forward to watching it again and piecing things together.
Finally watched this; didn't care for it. Wasn't a completely horrible movie as some of the acting was good and I kinda liked the abstractness of it, but I had trouble getting into it and enjoying it.
