Synecdoche, New York

This could quite possibly be the most ambitious thing Charlie Kaufman has ever put his name on, and a hell of a directorial debut.

Imagine all the nesting storylines in Adaptation being a mere fraction of a much larger framing narrative, and you're getting close. This movie had elements to it that I look for in fiction. Excellent acting all around, especially Philip Seymour Hoffman, who BELONGS in the role of a Kaufman-written everyman.

Absolutely mindblowing. Just when you think the film can't go any further, it pushes forth to a perfect ending.

See it.

Twice.

It's pretty heavy, that's for sure.
But it's not without its laughs.

I shall view this.

finally saw it that second time, this time on DVD.
I have no idea how this went completely ignored by the Academy.
If nothing else, it deserved a nomination for best original screenplay.

Watch how much time passes, in the film, within the first ten minutes of viewing.
And keep an eye out for Sammy.

Mindblowing.

gotcha

i like how this movie got trippy with no special effects
been awhile since i've seen one like that

and speaking of those types of films
can anyone throw out a few other films, modern films, that get out there with no cgi?

It reminds me of some of the best books I've ever read,
in that sense.

You've seen Magnolia, right? loved that one.
