Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut, a comedy drama, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as Caden Cotard, a frustrated theatre director so bound up in his own work and failings he almost doesn’t notice his wife Adele leaving him. When an unexpected grant of $500,000 allows him to realise his dream; he rents a cavernous warehouse and sets about rehearsing a play based on his life and the world around him, with sets modelled on New York and a script comprising of gnomic post-it notes. But will the play ever reach its first night? Kaufman’s film is an almost Bergmanesque meditation on life and death (subtle clues show time passing Cotard faster than real time) which, as with his scripts for Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, refuses to kowtow to convention but by its very subversion, provides a fascinating, challenging viewing experience., A frustrated theatre director whose personal and professional lives are a mess attempts to mount an ambitious production that reflects his life., Synecdoche, New York marked the directorial debut of iconoclastic, cerebral screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as Caden Cotard, an eccentric playwright who lives with artist Adele Lack (Catherine Keener) and their daughter Olive in Schenectady, upstate New York. Prone to neuroses, misgivings and enormous self-doubt, Caden also begins suffering from accelerated physical deterioration – from blood in his stools to disfigured skin. Upon receiving a prestigious MacArthur grant, Caden decides to use the money to concoct one gigantic play as an analogue of his own life; he builds massive sets amid a New York City warehouse, casts others as his friends, family and acquaintances, and casts others to play the ones he’s casting. After Adele whisks Olive off to Europe but demonstrates no sign of returning soon, Caden drifts into a series of relationships with lovers – first with box office employee Hazel (Samantha Morton), who purchases and moves into a house that is perpetually on fire; then with Tammy (Emily Watson), an actress assigned to play Hazel in the theatrical project; and subsequently with others. Unfortunately, the play itself grows so big and unwieldy – and rehearsals go on for so long, taking literally decades – that it becomes unclear if the production itself will ever launch., A frustrated theater director whose personal and professional lives are a mess attempts to mount an ambitious production that reflects his life in this brilliant and surreal drama., Theatre director Caden Cotard’s artistic life is boosted with a prestigious grant, but his marriage abruptly ends and a mystery malady starts taking its toll. Throwing himself into a theatrical attempt to portray stark reality, Caden’s relationships and existence become the subject of, and contaminated by, his epic work. Directorial debut from the award-winning writer of Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
