Synecdoche, New York




I know how to do it now. There are nearly thirteen million people in the world. None of those people is an extra. They're all the leads of their own stories. They have to be given their due.




Okay, the most bizzare film I've seen in a long time. A theater director's commentary on his own life - a "play within a play".


Lately I've been driven to rent films more than go to the theater, and I'm afraid I might have shut off this slow-moving film if it was on TV. A good wy to spend the afternoon. I would recommend this film if you like dark, thoughtful films that need to be slowly digested.
