The prevue for Charlie Kaufman ’s directorial first appearance , Synecdoche , New York , is out and it ’s as awing as you might have hope from the guy who wrote Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind . Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a theatre director who build a consummate musical scale model of New York inside a New York storage warehouse . ( Hence “ synecdoche , ” which refers to a literary trope where a part put up for the whole . ) But it await like it gets more complicated than that , try from the new laggard . Hoffman is suffering from some weird disorder that is causing all his autonomic spooky system functions to discover down . And it looks as though Hoffman ’s warehouse is inside a large storage warehouse , and also the model of New York seems to hold back a model of the storage warehouse — apparently with its own modelling of New York inside . As Life Without Buildings channelize out :
When this film was announced last year , I marvel what would go on if we discovered that the portion of New York being regurgitate include the very storage warehouse within which the model is being build ? Is it potential that the play will include an actor engage to play the film director , who then rent an thespian to play himself ? Will this create some sort of numberless spacial vortex , like two face - to - typeface mirrors , the land - group O - lakes butter recording label , or some variety of spacial Tristram Shandy ? guess from what we ’ve see so far , it expect like that ’s exactly what happens .
It ’s worth reading the whole response , which reference my favorite Paul Auster novel , The Music Of Chance . [ Yahoo ! MoviesandLife Without Buildings ]
