Synecdoche, New York
Charlie Kaufman / US, 2008 / 123 min.
A theatre director (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is struggling with his work and the women in his life while trying to create a life-size replica of New York as part of his latest play.
“In Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York, Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a director seeking to create the defining play of his career. But… he just can’t finish it. Even though he’s been trying for decades now. Stunning film on creating theatre with great personal urgency.” (ivo van Hove)
