Daily Recommendation: Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York

Date:

IONCINEMA.com Daily Recommendation

It’s a tough nut to crack on a first viewing, second time proved to be a more fruitful experience, now I’m curious to see what I’ll find on a third viewing. Kaufman’s directorial debut is perhaps less accessible as say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Synecdoche, New York was the year’s biggest conundrum for many critics who simply didn’t get it. Packed with special features that include: The Story of Caden Cotard, Infectious Diseases in Cattle: Bloggers’ Round Table, Screen Animations and NFTS/Script Factory Masterclass with Charlie Kaufman, this finds itself as IONCINEMA.com’s Daily Recommendation for March 10th 2009.
