Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman makes his directorial debut with this comedy starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Hope Davis, and Michelle Williams. Hoffman stars as theater director Caden Cotard, a man whose talent takes him from upstate New York to the Great White Way, but the transition isn't an easy one. Kaufman was the mind behind such original fare as ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and ADAPTATION, so film fans are sure to see something innovative with SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK. [More]

Kaufman's high concept narrative is an evocative and empathic way of looking at the inevitability of death, and features a concentrated use of great female actors of our era.
