The gang has the end built into the beginning this week, as they review Charlie Kaufman's brain child, Synecdoche; New York (2008). Not to be confused with Schenectady, NY, the city... Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, much like this movie, and much like the play being staged within the movie. Brought to us by the writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, and Adaptation., this surreal life spanning think piece is in a league all its own, cinematically. Best not to read anything about it, but go in blind... once you've experienced it once, then maybe you can start to think about what it all means. Then watch it again... or don't. Or just listen to us talk it through.
