Scenes: Clips From Charlie Kaufman's 'Synecdoche, New York'
:: The Playlist :: —
... but we've got a bunch of scenes and clips from Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York," there and on YouTube. The film comes out this Friday, October 24 via Sony Pictures Classics. It's a film that's really dividing people and we're kind of curious how audiences and critics respond to it. It could be a hard road, but people do love Kaufman.

It's currently sitting at a 67% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but more reviews will surely come in later in the ...

But now, my wait is over. And again I ask… how do I prepare myself for this? This is a film that’s so divided amongst critics, its Rotten Tomatoes round-up results in its first review quote labeling the film “a ...
