Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, has been generating positive buzz ever since it premiered at Cannes this year. Time Magazine calls it "A miracle movie," while Variety claims it is "a wildly ambitious and gravely serious contemplation of life. The picture exerts power and artistic mystery." If this new trailer is any indication, I am starting to see what all the fuss is about.

Philip Seymour Hoffman leads a hugely talented cast (including Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton, Catherine Keener, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Hope Davis and many more) in this story in which "[a] theater director (Hoffman) struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play."

Synecdoche, New York will start with a limited release on Oct. 24. To check out the trailer, read more.

    Not what I expected, but I'm still looking forward to it. I'll watch Michelle and Catherine in anything!

    Finally! I've been waiting for this since the movie popped up on Charlie Kaufman's IMDb page! Finally, we can get a taste of how a Charlie Kaufman movie would be like if Charlie Kaufman actually directed it! There's no doubt at all that Synecdoche, NY is going to be an incredible film.

    Also, when has Charlie Kaufman written something that met expectation? His movies tend to break away from expectation for favor of something better and something more than what the audience can ever anticipate. Such is the ingenuity of Charlie Kaufman!

    i've definitely heard a lot about this film and i can't wait to see it. i think that based on the cast and the plot it's going to do decent. it doesn't seem like it'll be a blockbuster, but i don't think that's the goal..i think that the movie will draw a crowd, and i'll be there when it's in theaters.
