Synecdoche, New York (2008)

Whenever you go to see a film written by Charlie Kaufman, you know this is not going to be a normal story... and somehow he manages to draw you into his bizarre worlds. This holds true for Synecdoche, New York as well. Kaufman tries directing for this film and I think he did just screenplay justice. The visuals are dazzling. Philip Seymour Hoffman proves once again that he is a brilliant, brilliant actor. This is possibly the most depressing movie I have *ever* seen (and movies don't depress me that often) but it's also one of the most moving, most beautiful, most original movies out there. Most definitely worth watching if you're looking for something out of the ordinary. 4 stars.
