Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008) by Jesus C — 27 Jul 2017

Synecdoche New York is probably the most depressing film I've ever seen. Writer and Director, Charlie Kaufman, gives us the strangest perspective of Life and Death. The story follows the life of a theater director.

That's it. That's basically the whole film, but Charlie's writing manages to make this simple story complex and thought provoking. Kaufman also does a fantastic job establishing the environment and atmosphere.

This is such an underrated masterpiece that needs to be seen by everyone that suffers from the anxiety of death.
