Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York Trailer
Film Junk —
[image] The official trailer for Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut Synecdoche, New York has arrived online this week and it definitely messes with your mind in much the same way that the movie does. I caught the movie at TIFF and came away disliking it more than I liked it (read the review here ...
Trailer: The Meta-Meta World Of Charlie Kaufman's 'Synecdoche, New York'
:: The Playlist :: —
Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York," finally has a trailer which is sort of weird since we saw the movie almost a month ago now (Kaufman world is always out of order). The one thing about this almost whimsical trailer (featuring the string compositions of Jon Brion) is that it really downplays the dark and sadder moments of 'Synecdoche,' which there are many. It's certainly not as quirky as Kaufman's past work ("Adaptation," "Being John Malkovich,") but it still pretty funny in between the tears and sometimes in a really twisted way. No matter all the ...

I'm a huge fan of the films Charlie Kaufman has scripted for both Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry, so I'm going to do my level best to ignore any negative rumblings from its screening at Cannes earlier this year, when critics suggested it was more than a little abstruse ...

Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York
Reel Suave —
The first trailer for Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut titled Synecdoche, New York has debuted on Yahoo. The film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a theatre director who, without going into the more complex details, decides to recreate his life as a theatrical play inside of an enormous abandoned warehouse. I’ve been told that this film is about Charlie Kaufman’s fears put into themes and metaphors, but it’s so insanely complex and confusing, that even after seeing it, many people don’t get what he is trying to say in the first showing. The trailer is more of a confused introduction into the lives of these characters.
The film has really not found ...

Tonight’s program focuses on a number of shorts by Oliver Husain, including Q, which is described as “a fantasy of globalization set in a multicultural consumer space that fulfills its shoppers’ and viewers’ every desire and need.” More info ...

D.C.GIRL@THEMOVIES —
I had the great privilege of meeting Charlie Kaufman and seeing his latest film, Synecdoche, New York, yesterday, at the third cell in the title image. ...Perhaps you're saying Syne-whahh?? And maybe even who, if you're neither a New Yorker nor familiar with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, or Being John Malkovich (my favorite). He wrote those good/weird movies. The man himself is short, nebbishy, unassuming, with a curly top that adds an extra four inches to his thin 5' nothing frame. I had to seriously resist the ...

Film Gecko —
Any time you get Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Emily Watson, Dianne Wiest, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton, and Hope Davis in a movie together, you’ve gotta think it’s going to be special. You’re talking some of my favorite actors all in one place: “Synecdoche, New York.” So what if you can’t pronounce the movie’s title?
More after the jump, including a trailer…
Hoffman plays theater director Caden Cotard, who’s working on a new play. His ...

5. THE DARK KNIGHT
Yes, many of the things my esteemed colleague Andrew Osborne bitched about in his Dark Knight rant are true. I still stand by my original review: the first two-thirds of Christopher Nolan's bat-sequel is a sweeping, edge-of-your-seat superhero epic unlikely to be topped anytime soon, and if Heath Ledger's delirious Joker isn't the definitive take on the character, I still pity anyone who tries to follow it up. 4.

5. WALL*E (Andrew Stanton, dir.)
Pixar has been on such a roll of late that if they were a single director, they’d be getting mention in the same breath as the golden age greats. But they’re not; they’re an aggregate of many clever, talented folks who make computer-generated cartoons that are at least partly intended for children. I’m not going to argue that this isn’t sometimes a weakness; in WALL*E, the environmental message only seems fitting and appropriate because I happen to agree with it, and the crypto-Objectivism in The Incredibles only bothered me ...

And here’s my top five: 4/5. A Christmas Tale and Rachel Getting Married
I don’t normally “do” ties, but the latest films from Arnaud Desplechin and Jonathan Demme are so clearly spiritual cousins that I can’t bear to separate them here. The two films tell essentially the same story, in which a family’s festivities are beset by a ne’er-do-well relative who proceeds to stir up some long-percolating resentments in the process. Rachel Getting Married is the more emotionally accessible of the two, ...

BEST PICTURE Scott Von Doviak Predicts: NOMINEES The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Milk The Reader Slumdog Millionaire WALL-E My sure thing is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, just because it looks so Gump-ish. The Reader takes the Holocaust slot, Milk fills both the biopic and social issues categories, and Slumdog Millionaire is the little not-really-indie that could. That leaves one opening, which could go to Revolutionary Road if it picks up some momentum or dark horse The Dark Knight…but I'm going to give it to ...

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK (2008)
Caden Cotard believes that he is dying. In a way, he is right. This is as true of him as it is of anyone who's ever drawn breath. Time slips away in a very special way for Cotard, though. He awakes one morning in September, but by the time he gets coffee, there's kids in Halloween masks running around. His wife takes his daughter to Europe for a short trip. His crush is flirting with him later, trying to get him to come home with her. He can't, he says, his wife is only gone for a week. "Caden, it's been a year!," she tells him. Some around him ...
