Synecdoche, New York, is a haunting film. In the weeks since I saw it, I'm not sure a day has gone by that I haven't thought about it. It's also a humongous, confusing mess.
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."
An American Crime, which premieres tonight on Showtime, is certainly not going to be an easy film to watch. Even the trailer gives me the creeps. But that may be a credit to the performances in the film, which stars a handful of my favorite actors: Ellen Page, Catherine Keener, James Franco, and Bradley Whitford.
Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.
Variety brings us news of a little
something called Hamlet 2 (yes, as in a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet), a film starring Steve Coogan and Catherine Keener. The project will be the first produced by Eric Eisner's (son of former Disney chief Michael Eisner) production company L+E.
Oh, Sean Penn. I loved him in Mystic River so very much — that was a great career move. And now he's gone and directed an adaptation of Jon Krakauer's
Into the Wild and it's scheduled to open September 21.
