Top 10 Posters of 2008: Synecdoche, New York

Date:

8. Synecdoche, New York (International/Festival Poster)

Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
Tagline: NA
Comments: This first appeared at the Cannes film festival and the reason why I like it so much is (for those who have seen the film) it explores the nutty life’s work of the protagonist, and though we know it’s the back of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s head, it conceals the identity/face or the true nature of the author of Kaufman’s madcap experiment.
