Synecdoche, New York Philip Seymour Hoffman 2009 DVD Top-quality

“It will stay with you for days and you will want to see it again. And again.” – EMPIRE MAGAZINE, 5 Stars As the writer of Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Charlie Kaufman’s first outing as director is a singularly inventive affair. As rewarding as it is dazzlingly perplexing, it is the story of theatre director Caden Cotard (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and his drive to produce his masterwork. Living in Schenectady, New York, Cotard’s life is looking bleak. When he receives a ‘genius grant’ for his work he sees a way of addressing the despair he feels, and moves his theatre company to a warehouse in New York City to embark on an ambitious on-going project, based on constructing a representation of his life. The stellar cast includes Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton and Diane Wiest.Review
