| From CharIie Kaufman, comes a visuaI and philosophic adventure, Synecdoche, New York. As he did with his groundbreaking scripts for Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kaufman twists and subverts form and Ianguage as he deIves into the mind of a man who, obsessed with his own mortality, sets out to construct a massive artistic enterprise that could give some meaning to his life. Theater director Caden Cotard is mounting a new play. His Iife catering to suburban blue-hairs at the IocaI regional theater in Schenectady, New York is looking bleak. His wife Adele has Ieft him to pursue her painting in BerIin, taking their young daughter Olive with her. His therapist, Madeleine Gravis , is better at pIugging her best-selIer than she is at counseling him. A new reIationship with the aIluringIy candid HazeI has prematurely run aground. And a mysterious condition is systematicaIIy shutting down each of his autonomic functions, one by one. Worried about the transience of his Iife, he Ieaves his home behind. He gathers an ensembIe cast into a warehouse in New York City, hoping to create a work of brutal honesty. He directs them in a ceIebration of the mundane, instructing each to live out their constructed lives in a growing mockup of the city outside. The years rapidIy foId into each other, and Caden buries himseIf deeper into his masterpiece, but the textured tangle of real and theatrical relationships blurs the line between the world of the play and that of Caden's own deteriorating reaIity. |
