A metaphor by which an inclusive term stands for something included, or vice versa; A metaphor in which a part is spoken of as the whole (hand for laborer) or vice-versa (the court for the judge).

If Synecdoche is anything close to the head scratching, mind-bending penned misadventures of Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind then I’ll might as well put this down as one of my must sees of 08’.

Production Weekly reports that screenwriting brainchild Charlie Kaufman will now go behind the camera for his directorial debut on a project that looks to touch upon the same anxieties that were under the scope in his previous 2 penned projects.

The film centers on an anguished playwright and several women in his life – the pic will feature thesps Philip Seymour Hoffman and Michelle Williams in the main roles. Filming begins next summer.
