Synecdoche, New York

Direction:
Charlie Kaufman

Storyline:
A theater director struggles with his work and the women in his life as he sets up a life-size replica of New York City in a warehouse for his new play.

Opinion:
This film is deliberately not easily deciphered and thus comes across as serious, disturbing and significant. It is as funny as it is depressing. It is as brilliant as it is confusing. There are no easy answers to be found, and that’s what makes this film so fascinating.
