Synecdoche, New York
Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a theatre director in Charlie Kaufman's metaphysical comedy. Disenchanted with the middlebrow nature of theatre and all that polite society calls "art", he takes over a rundown city block in New York - and employs actors to improvise lives in these apartments over months and years with no audience but themselves, creating a thrillingly authentic art-event-happening.
