Trailer for Charlie Kaufman’s Synedoche, New York

I’ll admit it: I ♥ Charlie Kaufman. I thought Being John Malkovich was completely original and Adaptation was a clever semi-autobiographical twist on its premise. And I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a masterpiece.

Kaufman wrote all of those movies, but he didn’t direct them. His directorial debut is the upcoming Synedoche, New York. It stars Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Catherine Keener, and Michelle Williams. What’s it about? It’s complicated. In fact, it’s so hard to explain I’m not even going to try. Just head over to IMDB and read for yourself. Then come back and watch the trailer.

Synedoche, New York opens in limited release October 24th.
