Synecdoche, New York
NB! Additional Screening Saturday 26th Sep at 11pm, Andorra
It hints at the artistic and existential obsessions that come to stand in for the life of an unhappy artist who blankets his life with his work, struggles mightily to understand the first by way of the second, and loses an ability to distinguish between the two. And it makes an irrefutable case for the universality of the individual human experience.
– CARINA CHOCANO, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
To be here now, alive in the world as it is rather than as we imagine it to be, seems a terribly simple idea, yet it’s also the only idea worth the fuss, the anxiety of influence and all the messy rest, a lesson hard won for Caden. Life is a dream, but only for sleepers.
– MANOHLA DARGIS, THE NEW YORK TIMES
